Well, then why not read the actual article instead of responses? Seriously.
P.S. What's my tone? I just rolled my eyes like that
That's all. There was a neutral tone in the form of bunch of letters. No kidding.
Got a tip for us?

Same here! My AT&T contract ends on my birthday that week too!4th week of June
If Apple were to telegraph every move, this site would no longer exist. What would be the fun in that?

I am hoping for a late launch. The later the launch, the higher the odds of the iP5 running LTE. I can sit on my hands a bit longer to get a much faster data connection. Data is what modern phones are about.
Design has nothing to do with it. It is a function of availability of parts. If the parts are not being made yet, the phone can't be manufactured. I am hoping Apple is waiting for the second generation LTE chips.

Nice
My AT&T contract ended a long time ago. I simply sell my old iPhone Jailbroken and unlocked on eBay for roughly $400, leaving a difference of roughly $200 for the ~$600 unsubsidized iPhone. No contract means I can say "SAYONARA" to AT&T™ at any time if they decide on screwing over their customers even more.
WADR, the sarcastic and condescending tone in comments such as above irk me and so many on MacRumors. "False"? "Riiiight?" Are we adults or play school children? Is it really necessary to claim to know exactly what Apple plans on doing so much so that you write statements of such finite veracity that assumes the receiver is ignorant to what you are apparently privy?
Forgive me for the commentary, but those of us who have been on here either reading news or currently commenting in threads are growing weary of the increasing disrespect amongst some members. Tone is difficult to read, keeping that in mind respond to others as though they were complete strangers, with respect and decency. Thank you.

Well yes,..
If the issue is purely the tech just isn't ready then throwing cash at it won't help.....
but Apple has a big horde of Cash so if the issue with the parts is the economic risk of retooling to build them and ramp up production. Then that is something pre-buying maybe able to solve.

+1 for page 2, perhaps page 3.

I reckon that this is when the white iPhone 4 will be released with very slight upgrades, and also the black will have the same updates. Still ios 4 and the same design, just some glitches improved. Just to tide people over until the end of fall/2012 for the all new iPhone 5.
I could be completely wrong - but thats just what I think will happen!
Hmm... still not sure what to make of this will they/won't they talk regarding iPhone 5 "delays"..
Surely they would have to release one this calendar year to stay ahead of (or even just in) the game. But equally, the combination of potential supply chain issues because of the disaster(s) in Japan and the apparent desire to make WWDC more about software this year will certainly push it back a little at least.
I guess as always, we will just have to be patient, and wait and see!

AGREED or Apple, If you read this the HTC pyramid will probably come out around then (conf nxt tueday) so if they see that then they will get a wriggle on with the production.... If it does come out in june Apple, Please release by July 2 so I can buy it on a new contract
Thanks
Just a theory, Apple wanted to go over all the new features in iOS 5 and OS 10.7 Lion. That would take about 2 hours. So, either Apple introduce the new iPhone in an event before WWDC or after like end of June. I think end of June is when they have the event. It is also possible that Apple may have an event late May and launch it late June. After all, we did get iPad 2 earlier this year than last year.

You don't get it. In 2010 they presented iOS 4 in april and released soon after WWDC. Now they say that at WWDC they are going to present the "FUTURE" of iOS.
So they definitely will not release iOS 5 at WWDC.

Imagine Steve Jobs at the end of June holding the event and saying: "iPhone 5 will be available........TODAY".
Kabooooom!!

Right that's it, I'm selling my iPhone 4 today and waiting for the new iPhone 5 in June. I knew it was going to happen around the usual time of the iPhone refresh. Thanks.
For example, unlike the rest of the world, some Korean's know what's being produced in their factories...
Will it have 4g lte and a dual core processor.
Now that i think about it the way iOS "multitask" it really doesn't need a Multicore processor

new form factor?
I heard a rumour that it'll be produced in North Korea for a change, with a new form factor based on a jumbo tub of popcorn, running off a standard car battery (leads sold separately). The touchscreen has gone, replaced by a 3-inch dial. Just what I heard: I'm not claiming it's true. Time will tell. My source also says that Safari will definitely be snappier.

I think Apple wanted to avoid people dying of heatstroke waiting in the sun so they where going to release it in the winter. But they didn't think it would be good to see their customers giving them frozen bills. LOL
I think some people are forgetting other elements are involved with the creation of a phone model. Sure, Design has a lot to do with it, as does the supply of parts.
But Apple isn't just some backstreet hack knocking up burgers, reliant on the supply of produce that will match their recipe.
The product releases are scheduled. In the consumer electronics business, the technology needs to progress rapidly, rolling old products into obsoleteness.
Deals related to parts would be in place more than months ahead. Chances are, the iPhone 5 was already beginning testing before the iPhone 4 was released.
Which means, even at prototype level or pre-production sample, the components would have been available long beforehand. You think they knock off 5 million iPhones between announcement date, and release date with complete faith in shipping schedules?
Deals relating to the supply of these parts are made long in advance. Manufacture for the iPhone 5 would have already been getting ramped up, and the need to have the new product available at, or around the existing schedule would be vital. And they wouldn't be taking chances. It's crucial in the IT industry.
