Next-Generation iPhone to Go on Sale During WWDC?

Sure, if it does indeed go on sale at the time of WWDC it will most likely be USA release only.
Jobs will say that internationally it will be available a month later, then later delay it a further month due to USA demand, making international launch August. Woohoo
Just move to the USA. Not that big of a deal.

Contracts for most folks aren't up until July I think. So what good does moving the date up do?

Very true. I know me and my roommate's isn't up til July/August. We got the 3G maybe a month after it came out. It was newer than I thought when we got it (I thought it had been out for a while) so maybe even a few weeks. Enough for the hype to die down enough that they had two 16 gig ones in stock at the AT&T store we went to (They were out of stock on the white and the 8 gig ones).
I really hope thats not true, this is ridiculous already. I've never even heard of keeping a phone exclusive, at least not for so long.
That's OK, I'm tired of waiting. If it doesn't happen this time, the Droid Incredible is looking pretty darn good anyway.
Omg, are you serious? There has been much longer exclusivities. It's not just iPhone. Look at the T-Mobile SideKick, or the Verizon Chocolate phones.
Maximus Pedanticus??
Are we perhaps being just a bit pedantic? Can you name one year when it wasn't on the first day? I can't. But if I'm wrong, I'll give credit where it's due.
In the meantime, it seems pretty clear to me that the author of the second article [and his editor] simply didn't check the latest before posting.

God damn I hope this is true so bad.
I'm going on holiday overseas for 5 weeks at June 27 - in Australia the iphone 3GS came out 1 week later than America (June 26'th)
I really would love a 4g before I go on leave!

Question
I m on family plan with my brother and we are in different states. I m eligible to iphone 4g because I still use 3g. Do I need his ID and CC to get an iphone 4g?

I am looking up historical posts from 2009 for the 3GS, it seems the announcement was the 7'th and the launch was the 19'th for the US.
The official Aussie release was June 26'th (only one week later) and I do believe this turned out to be right, they were being released on that day.
I hope it does come out during the 7th-11th! Can get it before my 12 month free internet runs out on the 22nd June lol.
lol.
Doesn't matter to me - I'm not eligible for an upgrade until early September, I think...but I'll definitely be watching the Keynote and buying as soon as I'm able to
I hope the next iPhone won't cost us 5000$
Are you Nucking Futs?! I much rather have a higher initial cost than pay an overall higher cost of monthly service. For example, Sprint is now at $70+taxes now on unlimited That is $50 a month. $50 X 24 months is $600 that stays in the bank.
I am so torn between getting a motorola droid and rooting it so I can wifi tether it with my mbp and wifi iPad or wait and get the new iPhone
One More Thing
After the demo of the iPhone, I'd like Steve to say, "and they're on sale today."
"And there's one more thing." He then shows a slide of AT&T's logo...then Sprint...then T Mobile...then Verizon.
Everyone bursts into a spontaneous iGasm.

Dream on. It looks like we are stuck with ATT for another generation. But just maybe next Gen will be open. We can only dream.
Need FCC approval first
You won't see anything ship until FCC approval is granted. While Apple can keep a 'blackout' over a new product being reviewed, that product information will become public 30 days prior to the authorization date. Then there is also the risk that there might be an issue with the testing. So if Apple has millions of iPhone 4G sitting someplace waiting for FCC approval, they take a huge risk that they might all have to be recalled (although no doubt they pre-test the heck out of the devices and know that they will pass ahead of time).
So wait for the FCC to open the kimono, then add 30 days to that date, and you know when the iPhone 4G will ship -- that day or later.
