Apple public relations confirmed to Fortune that Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address on June 9, the first day of the 2008 World Wide Developers conference. It is also expected that Steve Jobs will use that speech to unveil the next generation of iPhones, including a so-called 3G model. Now let me show you why we think this June 9th will be the release date for iPhone 3g . Just follow the following:
- Beginning Saturday, May 10, first generation iPhones were unavailable through Apple’s online store in the United States, the most recent sign that the company is clearing inventory in advance of a new release.
- Two days earlier, O2 ran out of iPhones in the United Kingdom.
- Rumor is going around that in the latest release of the iPhone 2.0 firmware will allow users to toggle 3G data ON for faster download speeds or OFF to conserve battery life.
- AT&T Mobile has sent out memo canceling staff vacations between June 15 and July 12 — point to Friday, June 27, as the day the new model will go on sale. That would give Apple four days of 3G iPhone sales before the quarter closes.
The contdown has already started on Apple’s website, where users can download a Dashboard widget counting down the hours before the June 9 WWDC by the days, hours, minutes and seconds.
