Me thinks they made that prediction based on the past few years totoally not clued in on the recent news and event information...

Launch FIRST abroad? Nope. That itself voids the entire "rumor."

When has Apple launched a flagship product abroad BEFORE launching it in the States?

Horrible rumor. Maybe it's still April 1st in Korea?
English is not your first language, is it?

Which part of the sentence "SK Telecom and KT will be amongst the first carriers to offer the new iPhone" suggests that those two carriers will be the only first two carriers offering the new iPhone 5? :rolleyes:

So they are supposedly not going to announce the new iPhone at WWDC and hold a entire, secondary event about a week later?

Stupidest rumor I've ever heard.

This phone will live up to Apples claim of Magical and Revolutionary.

On the Revolutionary Front, is an Awesome Orange Glow from it's Radioactivity.

No backlight needed, therefore longer battery life will prevail. Everything we've wanted and more.

Leave it to the amazing engineers to turn something negative into a positive.

Very impressive.

Maybe they will announce it at WWDC but not start shipping until the end of the month.

frankly i don't see them coming out with a new model this summer. they haven't even done their usual mid-cycle hd bump.

also everyone keeps saying that they come out with a new phone every summer. pardon, but 3gs was a new phone my s.

they didn't make a new model in time, so instead decided to dump the s "news" on us.

i imagine something similar will happen this summer. perhaps they will even update att's body to match verizon's. but somehow a whole new model just doesn't seem to fit. imho...

They didn't do the midseason memory bump for the 3Gs either, but they did do the Verizon iPhone so this could happen just to keep their AT&T customers around for more. I myself have been looking at android now more that I have an iPad to give me my apps for iOS... I could live without an iPhone now.

We all know that at WWDC there will be' no iPhone.

Why?

It's Apple said that! They say "come to see the FUTURE of the iOS".

So it's pretty obvious that they will not present iPhone at WWDC.

Do you really see Apple sell an iPhone 5 with an iOS 4.x ?

I think the only possibility is they announce iOS 5 and say it will be release "this summer" and then some weeks later hold an event specifically for thr iPhone with immediately availability.

Or: september.

One thing for sure: the release iOS 5 date they are going to announce at WWDC is the date in which we'll finally see the iPhone 5.

This is ridiculous

Well, well, well... if there is one rumored feature worth the wait for the new iPhone, it's that it'll be available in Korea on day 1! :D

So what? The WWDC 2010 invitation simply stated "the center of the app universe" and made no mention of a new iPhone.

This makes sense. Steve Jobs would definitely want to be there, but he probably can't make it to the entire WWDC keynote.

If this is true, this is a smart PR move on Apple's part.

I wonder if they could ever launch an iPhone without using the word "Magical" or use the term "This changes everything"

Hope so. Ready to ditch my Blackberry. Maybe by then BBM will be released for iPhone and Android. RIM did announce that after all.

Watch your tone and don't be an *******.

The RESPONSES TO the article suggested that people assumed the Korea would be the first country to get it, which of course makes zero sense.

Also, I don't recall other countries launching a major Apple product simultaneously with the US, but I could be wrong.

Everybody already knows Apple's product release schedule, so to attract more clicks, the bloggers/analysts start making up off-schedule releases rumors. ;) I mean saying new iPhones coming in June is not "hot news" anymore after a while.

To me, if Apple sell the iPhone 5 unlocked in the US, I'll buy. If not, no buy. I'll be looking for the LG G2x instead.
