iPhone release on June 20th? [Updated]

A number of reader reports and a Google Groups message board posting indicate that CNBC is reporting that the iPhone will be released on the 20th of June.

Actually, On the Money last night on CNBC, the telco Analyst said they had been given the confirmed date of the 20th. Not sure where this official release is, but they specifically said iPhone release date was finally released and it was to be the 20th.


According to CNBC, the iPhone will be "in stores" on that date. Apple's iPhone had been officially targeted for "late June". iPhone sales/support training runs from May 30th - June 20th, giving more credibility to the June 20th date.

An AP story tried to confirm the June 20th date, but was unable to get confirmation:

Siegel said he did not know where the June 20 date came from.

Clerks contacted at eight AT&T stores in New York said they had been told the iPhone would launch on dates ranging from June 11 to June 22.

Last night on CNBC's "On the Money" the claimed that "an official AT&T announcement" states the iPhone release date will be (Wednesday) June 20th. Take this with a grain of salt please.

Bloomberg has also picked up on this stating that the it will be released on 6/20 and raised the projected stock price to $125 by then.

i know that there are other dates buzzing around out there, and that this date is not confirmed, but i welcome any information that will help me pin down when i need to plan to work from home so i can get away to buy one first thing in the morning! :D

i'm hoping that the apple stores will have them a day or two before the at&t stores (it's an apple product, and despite the partnership with AT&T, i think it makes sense if apple gets a jump of a few days or so to start selling it). anyone think there's any chance of that?

I'm with you. I could care less when the phone is sold, so long as they release information (manuals, flash animations) & pricing plans at least a week before the stupid thing finally goes on sale.

I mean how difficult would it be to push it up a week and have it available at WWDC!! Oh yeah...I'll be at WWDC too. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure how reliable this source is anyway. It's available when it's available so who really cares.

Apple keep saying the iPhone will be here "Late June" So I'm guessing Apple will say pre order now and get by 20th...
