Apple has turned its attention fully to mobile devices. iMacs and MacBooks now take a back seat. You really believe Apple is going to only have one iPhone model and one iPad model? LOL I bet you also thought they would never create a product like Macbook air. Why would they need to when they already had 13, 15 and 17 inch MacBooks right?
Got a tip for us?

No. That's because the iPad 3 has a data only LTEchip, not a voice and data LTE chip. The reason LTE phones have crummy battery life is partially because they have a 4G data chip AND a 3G voice chip which run simultaneously. iPad doesn't have that issue, and when a condensed LTE chip is released this fall with both services it will give LTE phones better battery life
The original article CLEARLY says 'seems' and 'possible' again and again.
Basically even the article says they are not sure but just guessing.
One of the scene shots say, "You are hiring such a large amount of people?"
"Yes, there may possibly be a new iPhone around June".
Basically the original article is super tentative. I am calling horse **** as the Japanese press is pretty crap at the best of times.

None of that even makes sense at all. Apples method of releasing the software to everyone at the same time is far superior. No one wants a skinned version of ICS on their phone. Updates would be way faster without the skins.
I hope not....It's been an expensive spring so far what with the new iPad, ATV3 etc. Can't really see it myself, my money is still on October, ready for Christmas. My CC won't stand another battering that soon, just bought a Pegasus four bay NAS too...
The New iPhone will be launched in June at WWDC, it just makes sense.
The article below tells of Jobs not really having a big input in the 4s but was majorly involved in the iPhone 5.

Why would apple wait for its competitors to come in and take its iPhone 4 launch holders that are due an upgrade this June? If all the donkey work has been done it makes sense to unveil Steve Jobs' final work at the first WWDC since his death.
The 4s is what the 4 should have been, it wasn't a big enough move forward to keep out there as the company's flag ship phone for a whole year.
If apple does wait until October to launch the 5 then it will lose a lot of potential customers to the new generation of Android phones.
Just saying.

Think about it for a second. If Apple was going to lease anything in June, wouldn't we be seeing leaked pictures and reading endless rumors about it by now? Now having said that, I can see a larger iPod touch sometime this year, first quarter of 2013. As for the comment about LTE and AT&T's ***** network, I give a great big AMEN to that!

Only last year with the 4S did they wait more than a year to release a new iPhone.
