Apple Likely to Announce iPhone 4G Release date on June 7 at WWDC 2010 (Will Verizon Announcement Come Too?)




While it is still not clear if Verizon iPhone release date is on the cards or not, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is very likely to officially release the iPhone 4G on June 7th which is the opening day of the WWDC 2010, putting to rest speculations and controversy over the iPhone 4G release date.

It is expected that Jobs would make the key note address at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco ( WWDC 2010) , where Apple has unveiled several of its products in the past.

Notably, the third-generation iPhone was unveiled at last year's conference and was available in market after two weeks. Technology-based blog Gizmodo has already posted the review and pictures of the new phone after buying its prototype from a person, who had found the prototype in a bar in California. The prototype was left behind by an Apple employee.

One of Gizmodo’s editors Jason Chen had written a detailed article over the Apple’s phone. According to Chen, the iPhone 4G would have a front-facing video camera, a higher spec back-camera with flash. He had revealed in his article that the phone will have a Micro-Sim like the iPad. A Micro-Sim is used to make data more secure.

Chen’s review created a media storm and more than three million readers hit Gizmodo’s website within 12 hours to read the review of the phone.
