Rumor: New iPhone for mid-June

According to Boy Genius Report, a new iPhone could be unveiled come mid-June. The report states that “someone high up the AT&T food chain” let the ball loose with the following details:

• New iPhone announcement around mid-June (duh)
• New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device (could be just talking about 3.0, but we think it’s also a new iPhone)
• U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)
• The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.”
• Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.
• AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.
• Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going… uh, k?
• They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone. Ok, bets on slide out QWERTY, autofocus camera, video sharing, blah blah?
• Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.
• The $99 3G netbook will start selling this summer, and the first one won’t be a Windows OS.

Boy Genius Report has even gone ahead to clarify that the information above is 100% confirmed. Time will only tell, but it would line up with Apple’s trend of releasing a device annually. Just take a look at the chart below.

The rumor mill is churning once again. Boy Genius Report says that it’s 100% confirmed, but do you think the same? Is this rumor true or is it as fake as faux fur? Whatever you think, voice your opinion.
