Don't know why, but this made me LMAO!!!! I think we will see 4.0 a couple of days prior to the new iPhone. I believe the new iPhone will ship with 3.0 though and then we will have to upgrade.

Last year 3.0 dropped on the June 17th. The iPhone 3Gs was released on June 19th with 3.0 OS on it. There's no reason to think that things won't work the same this year.

Since AT&T sales staff are not allowed to take a vacation on June 21 (with only with special permission), I would say June 21.

1) Actually, they can't take vacation the entire month of June
2) Why does the release of the OS have anything to do with AT&T employees vacations?
3) If you are referring to the phone, historically they release on Fridays. Last year the 3Gs was released 11 days after it was announced. The most likely release date for the 4G is June 18th....10 days after the WWDC 2010 Keynote.
 
I was under the impression OS 4.0 would be released on June 7th. That really sucks that it may not be released another week - two weeks after:(

Where was this said? Furthermore, we KNOW the new iPhone won't go on sale for at least a few days to a week after June 7th, at the VERY earliest. OS 4.0 will be released on the same day or within days of the new iPhone. Therefore, OS 4.0 won't be released on June 7th ... I would expect the new iPhone and OS 4.0 in mid-late June.

Well, worst case scenario is the GM of OS 4.0 will be released on the 7th, so if you're a developer you can grab it.

And if your not a dev, and can get your grubby mits on the GM you can update your phone because you dont need to register a UDID.
 
Thanks to all who had posted on this topic,
But 4.0 is coming close, and I'm counting down the days,
Witch is eating me up inside, ahaha

Never heard it from Apple but I heard June 7th from a lot of tech sites, internet tech forums etc. But guess it was all just speculation. I was thinking about keeping my 3G S⃣ and just waiting until 2011(thats when i'm eligible for an upgrade with Bell), but something tells me Monday is going to be pretty epic.

My mother is eligible for an upgrade with Rogers and really wants to get rid of her LG shine. She really likes my iPhone, so I'll just tell her to get the new iPhone when it releases and I'll give her my 3G S⃣ (which is in mint condition) for the new one. I know she won't mind, and won't even use all of the new features that the new iPhone will have anyways:D
 
Dude, the 4th gen will only run 4.0 or higher. There is no 3.x software for iPhone 3,1.
I was talking about the release for earlier devices.

Don't be surprised if the new iPhone ships with 3.1 and we have to update to 4.0 ourselves.
 
Thanks for the replys, guess I'll just have to wait and see then :p

@jtara, I don't really care when the new phone ships as I for one will not be buying it. It's not miles better than my 3GS, yes the screen is going to be amazing, and it's gonna have a better camera (don't need that as I never really use a phone for photography as I have an SLR), a front facing camera which IMO is pointless (who actually video calls people? and the person on the receiving end also needs a phone with video calling + it's expensive to video call) and maybe a faster processor. Also, I have a rule that I will only buy every other generation of the phone (ie. 2G then 3GS then the 2011 handset).


how do you know any of this? just wait until the actual phone is released then you can make up your mind on what functions is has and what is better for you. there is no need to speculate. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CORRECT ANSWER UNTIL IT IS RELEASED!

That's not happening. It's shipping with 4.0.
Did the 3G ship with 2.0? Yes.
Did the 3GS ship with 3.0? Yes.

4.0 in all it's glory was designed for the new phone. It's shipping with it.

Wow, give your mom a used phone while you get the new one... LOL

What a way to treat your mom after she took care of you for 18+ years and went through 20+ hours of labor!! :D
 
I think the "You won't be disappointed" thing might be something in the OS, that also only would work on the new iPhone. (Don't know what it might be, but I have a hunch that something extra will be on OS 4.0 which hasn't been there, up until now.)
 
Aren't there a few bugs with beta 4? Which only came out 2 weeks ago?

How can they finish beta 4 and put it on all the iphone 4's being assembled in time? Seems pretty unlikely.
I think we'll see the iphone 4 on the 30'th (as one rumour claims) maybe the firmware somewhere before then - up to 7 days I spose.

No sure how they do it, but they did it on the 3Gs last year.

30th is a Wednesday. It usually is on a Friday for iPhone releases.
