Apple has traditionally debuted new iPhones at its annual software developers conference, but this year's event in June will be 100 percent software news, according to a report.

 

Citing anonymous tipsters, well-sourced Apple blogger Jim Dalrymple claims there will be no iPad, iPhone or Mac hardware introduced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off June 6 in San Francisco.

 

Apple's press release announcing the event doesn't give much hope for any hardware announcements.

 

"At this year's conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss."

 

Apple will likely give details on the next-gen Mac operating system, OS X Lion, and the next version of its mobile OS, iOS 5.

 

New cloud-based features will likely be included in iOS 5 (think online storage, or a "music locker" service). It may not be released until fall, according to a TechCrunch report. That means an iPhone 5 would probably release in the fall timeframe with the launch of iOS 5.

At this point, I don't see the purpose of cranking out another iPhone without 4G capabilities - and 4G isn't up in enough places to warrant a rushed product. If anything happens, it will probably be a modest upgrade like the 3GS was to the 3G. My 4 is an excellent phone, and until the 4G technology makes its debut in my area, I'll hold onto it.

 

Apple should concern itself with making a CDMA/GSM model so there isn't a need for two different iPhone 4's and their appropriate accessories.

Makes sense though...they just released the iPhone4 CDMA. Then again Apple is known for dropping Canary traps to see who's leaking what kind of info. This could just be one of them...either way noone will know for sure until June.
