Foxconn to Deliver 3G Capable iPhones Beginning in June?
A new Commercial Times report reveals that Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) has won orders for the assembly of the long rumored 3G-capable second generation iPhone.
Foxconn is expected to deliver up to 3 million of the next generation iPhone in June 2008, with a total production run expected to be 24-25 millions throughout the life-cycle of the device.
Readers might remember that rumors of the original iPhone really took off after Commercial Times accurately reported that Foxconn had won the contract for the original iPhone back in November 2006.

Maybe the clever engineers at FoxConn can slip a To Do feature in under the radar, since such an advanced feature is so clearly beyond Apple's abilities. :mad:

So many rumors of June from so many sources. There'll be a lot of people scratching their heads if it doesn't happen!

All signs point to WWDC. And all eyes will be focused that direction too.
I would love if Apple announced the next iPhone, without 3G. The riot online would be so priceless it would be worth losing 3G!

I highly doubt that it'll happen the day before Steve Jobs keynote, that would kinda deflate the whole WWDC event. Next, I also doubt that someone at AT&T would know the exact date, Apple is pretty secretive.
I think it will be announced at WWDC with a release later on that month. That's just a prediction, nothing definite. Makes sense though.

While I agree that the date is probably bogus, I could see the phone being released the day before. WWDC keynotes aren't usually used to release new products, right? Perhaps a release of the new iphone 2.0 os during the keynote.
However, didn't Jobs says the iPhone 2.0 was going to be a LATE June release?
I'd expect both the 2.0 and the new phone to be released simultaneously.
