MemeStreams | iPhone 5 Release Date Reveal Won’t Happen During WWDC 2011?

I really hate having to go back and forth with claims surrounding iPhone 5‘s release date and when it will actually be announced. It was said that it won’t be during WWDC 2011, then it will, and now, TechCrunch believes it will NOT. “…we’re hearing that Apple is pushing for journalists to come to WWDC because the software announcements will be huge (and they likely know that journalists hearing there will be no iPhone 5 announcement may choose to stay home instead this year). And the changes will be vital for all developers in the Apple ecosystem(s) to know about.” If you must remember, speculations rose that a hardware will be demoed during this year’s WWDC keynote because Apple is pushing on international journalists to attend the event. TechCrunch says that the new iOS is so massive that this alone should attract international journos.

And remember, this isn’t just about iOS 5. This is about Apple’s entire software backbone. iOS and OS X are both about to receive massive upgrades at the same time. And both will likely be extensively previewed at WWDC. Add to this Apple’s cloud announcements (which may or may not include the “iCloud” music stuff) and you suddenly have a WWDC that looks anything but boring, new iPhone or not.

If anything, it’s possibly more about Apple’s Cloud announcements more than anything. Of course, Apple is full of surprises, so there’s always that “one more thing” unpredicted reveal which can be anything really. What do you think?
