MemeStreams | iPhone 4S Coming at WWDC 2011 Ahead of iPhone 5 Release?

Some UK journalists believe the iPhone 4S will be launched at WWDC 2011 despite the fact that we have plenty of proof to suggest otherwise so far….
We’re getting closer and closer to the WWDC 2011, where Apple is going to tell us more about the future of  iOS and Mac OS X, according to its previous press release as well as to the general consensus between most media outlets out there.
The next-gen iPhone, iPhone 4S or iPhone 5,
should be unveiled at a later event in September, again, according to
most rumors that place the launch of the fifth iPhone in fall 2011, but
today we hear a different rumor. According to some UK sources it would
seem that Apple PR is specifically interested in getting “selected
British journalists” to attend to Apple’s WWDC 2011 so they can witness
the iPhone 4S launch.

The assumption here is that Apple will launch a major product in San
Francisco, hence the need of major publications from the UK to cover the
event. And what major device other than the iPhone 4S/5 could be
launched, at least according to the same source? Well, this is well we
call bullshit folks, as the conclusions drawn by Electric Pig are pretty
far-fetched, with no actual proof ready to back them up.
Yes, Apple is going to launch a major product at WWDC. In fact we’re expecting at least two, if not three of them: iOS 5,
Mac OS X Lion, and the new iCloud music streaming service with the
first two being obvious favorites. And yes, we do agree that an iPhone
4S announcement taking place at WWDC would cause quite a stir among
Apple customers and rivals. But Apple is a well-oiled machine that also
happens to control the iDevice rumor mill out there at best it can. And
all rumors out there say that no new iPhone is going to be introduced at
WWDC 2011, so why would Apple go through so much trouble to convince
people the next iPhone is coming in September only to launch it now?

We’d be really interested to hear more about those UK journalists
that Apple PR is interested in bringing to San Francisco, although last
time I checked, Apple does quite okay with building hype around its
products before, during and after its media events, even without certain
journalists being actually present at these events. The best example
here would be the Gizmodo band that’s currently banned from such Apple
media events following last year’s iPhone 4 bar scandal. So therefore,
why would Apple PR want to make sure certain UK journalists are there at
all costs?
