It’s no secret that Apple has been hard at work on the next iPhone. What isn’t known yet is exactly when Apple will announce and ship the device. What’s Apple next generation iPhone time table?

They will release it just after I buy one of the existing ones.

Seriously though, I seem to be one of the few that don’t think it will come out at WWDC. That is a developers conference not a new consumer products event. Apple will IMO want to hold an event just for the new iPhone to put as much media attention on it as possible. I also really believe they will time it so SJ can say “shipping today”.

It’s amazing how many people teach their children that if they work hard they can change the world while at the same time don’t believe that Oswald acted alone

I’m guessing it will be announced at WWDC and coming out a month or so later.

The timing is about right for Apple’s traditional summer refresh of the iPhone. It also makes sense with the new iPhone OS coming out and so much of WWDC focusing on iPhone OS development.

If Apple can move on it, I think it will be announced at WWDC and ship within a week after the announcement. One of the best ways to mitigate any damage from the iPhone leak is to just get the phone out there to minimize the chance of the competition stealing away buyers.

Obviously ramp-up, QA and other considerations would be at play in that kind of decision, but a June launch has precedent (iPhone 3GS launched in late June).

The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.

I would have guessed there would be a month or more delay in shipping after they are announced. Now that WalMart is selling the 3GS for $97, I can’t help but wonder if the next iPhone is coming sooner. Perhaps it will be shipping within a week of its announcement at WWDC.
