iPhone and Leopard Delayed? [Update: False]

I'm cautious to post this, as there has been no other verification, but Engadget claims that both the iPhone and Leopard have been delayed. According to the gadget site:

This one doesn't bode well for Mac fans and the iPhone-hopeful: we have it on authority that as of today, the iPhone launch is being pushed back from June to... October (!), and Leopard is again seeing a delay, this time being pushed all the way back to January. Of 2008.

Engadget only states "we have it on authority" and no other source is given.

In the past, Engadget has been very liberal about linking almost any Apple rumor found on the internet, but they rarely post Apple rumors based on their own sources. That being said, the last time they did (October 2006), they were wrong. However, due to Engadget's popularity and confidence in this report, this has been posted on Page 1 rather than Page 2.

Apple has repeatedly stated that the iPhone is on track for a late June release.

Update: Engadget has retracted the story, saying they received "further correspondence stating that this isn't accurate" and that Apple PR let them know that the iPhone and Leopard are still on track.

"blah blah blah good authority blah blah blah"

Until I hear something more concrete, "I have it on good authority" doesn't mean anything. I have it "on good authority" the sky will fall this afternoon. Pff.

Ouch. Still, I was going to wait for the first rev of Leopard anyhow. I guess, by definition, that has been pushed back too. So iLife 07 becomes iLife 08. :rolleyes:

I hope that the fact they're taking so long means that 10.5.0 will be stable :)

Nope.

No way in hell. They might as well scrap it versus delay it.

I would wait to hear SOME sort of confirmation of this. Engadget provides no details on what their source is.

Not true probably, Apple will release iPhone at all cost.

This is probably just Apple setup to find a source of the leaks ;)
