AT&T Reportedly Confirms June iPhone Launch to Employees

Boy Genius Report briefly claims that AT&T has confirmed to its employees that the next-generation iPhone will launch in June, with hints that availability could even come well before the end of that month.

Title says it all, but you didn't really need a confirmation, did you? The phone will be available for purchase in June, not July, and from what we've heard, it won't even be late June.

Boy Genius Report previously noted that AT&T had instituted a block on employee vacations for the month of June, a move indicating a likely iPhone launch during that time as evidenced by similar blocks in previous years.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is expected to formally introduce the next-generation iPhone on June 7th during his keynote address at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. Earlier rumors had suggested that Apple is looking to push the next iPhone's actual launch as close as possible to that date, perhaps even making it available before the conference concludes.

Woooooooooooo!

So let's say Jobs announces the iPhone and says "Available TODAY." How do people line up for something like that? Do they have to be in line before the keynote? Or would it most likely be the next day? How's it work?!

No vacations in June seems to be an ongoing policy with AT&T.

no, because people will have to wait until they are eligible for upgrade, which has seemed to be end of june for many.

While getting live updates about WWDC at work, if it becomes available during the conference, do I immediately "get sick" and leave work to get in line? Or let the madness subside for a few days?

I've never bought an iPhone before, so in you guy's experience, how are the lines on day one, day two, day three...etc.? When should I expect to be able to go?

I doubt they would release it on a Monday. June 11 is my guess.
