I doubt it.Heck, Apple may have it ready for purchase on Monday.
They probably want to keep the developers focused on the WWDC seminars and events, not have everyone march up the block to the Apple Store to stand in a long line to buy the new iPhone.
Also, logistically, it would make more sense for Apple to stage the launch by rolling out software and services before the hardware launch: OS X, iPhone OS, iTunes, etc. They have tried in the past to launch everything on the same day with disastrous results. Hopefully, they have learned their lesson.
Remember, Apple is very lightly staffed. I don't think they can actually accomplish all that on the same day.
yes it does look lower in the white one.. maybe because its missing the box where the number of gigabytes go. maybe it is a prototype.
ohhh no! dont buy it then... christ, im sure steve will be crying into his pintEDIT: German pint
Yes, they are wrong.Anyone see this write up in the link? I bet they're wrong.
Steve assures us that WWDC "will not disappoint." What could disappoint more than the lack of an iPhone announcement?
Poor analysis by Powerbook Medic.
Looks nice, following the same white style of the mac mini, macbook and mighty/magic mouse etc.
But I would have thought that it looks a bit out of place next to a glass and aluminium macbook pro.
And at least it wouldn't show up scratches and smudges as bad as a black one.

That's exactly my stance. I really loved the white back, but the black front offended my delicate design sensibilities. If it really is matching, my next iPhone will probably be white.
I may go white this time. It's such a better design than the previous turd designs. This will also help alleviate the cracking issue on the case from normal use due to Apple's horrible design of the previous iPhone curved back. "Oh, you have a cracked back, I'm sorry, you're out of warranty. You can upgrade for $600 even though the reason it cracked is solely our fault. If you have a complaint feel free to try a class action lawsuit."
Fake. 
doesn't use cheap plastic like that. doesn't believe in having seams in their products - collects dirt, aesthetically displeasing to the I's.

There's no plastic on the phone. The back is ceramic or glass. Unibody MacBook Pros has seams in the to access parts on the inside. "I's" - really?
That bottom seam really makes me believe that Steve Jobs needs to lay off the pain meds. Seriously, how the hell could he approve such a design ? Apple NEVER has ugly seams like that. The rest of it, eh ... I am still not sure what I think of it. The buttons on the side also look very non-Apple.
I am very serious and scared when I say ... is Apple losing it ?

We'll see in 5 days
There is one thing I observed... Apple is often criticized by community members. Some even go and say that "I won't buy it unless this and that". But I'm pretty sure these persons end up buying it anyways, when they realize that "it's not that bad after all".
I think that all of these photographs are fake... and I mean every "leaked" iPhone '4G' photograph.
Why would Apple want to break the consistencies relating to the physical design of their products? Look at the notebook line-up; they look very similar.
Also, look at the iPad and iPhone (current); they also look similar.
Why would they immediately, and abruptly, halt this consistency in design?

I think he's suggesting that the white handset will be more popular amongst females than males.
Did you think he was suggesting something else?
Obviously. They must have lost it a long time ago when they started making everything in brushed metal since that was so un Apple like. Or maybe when they stopped making bright colors on their laptops and desktops was when they lost it since it was un Apple like. No wait. Perhaps it was when they stopped making a mouse shapped like a hockey puck. Maybe when they started making non computer consumer devices?
Anyone who says something new is un Apple like needs a crash course in Apple history.
