iPhone 5 to Launch at End of June?
According to Korean site ETNews.co.kr, Apple is planning on releasing the iPhone 5 during the 4th week of June. Multiple reports have already revealed that Apple will not be introducing the iPhone 5 during the Worldwide Developer's Conference scheduled for June 6th. Instead, WWDC is said to be focusing on software only.
ETNews, however, claims that the news of a late June iPhone 5 release comes with confirmation that Korean providers SK Telecom and KT will be amongst the first carriers to offer the new iPhone
iPhone 5, the next model of iPhone 4, will be released on the coming 4th week of June. In the midst of the iPhone 5 postponement rumors, Apple has confirmed that iPhone 5 will be released as planned and it will be released simultaneously in Korea through SK Telecom and KT.
Instead of a WWDC launch, Apple is expected to hold a special media event featuring Steve Jobs himself.The sourcing of the article is a little suspect, as it appears to be attributing the information to Apple, itself. It also contradicts the "fall" timeframe that has been previously proposed for the next iPhone release. Mobile carriers, however, have been a source of some early release information, as new phones launches must be coordinated. In 2008, Telecom Italia's executive VP of technology revealed the timeframe of the 3G iPhone. Finally worth noting is that the story was also posted to etnews.co.uk on April 1st, though there is no indication that it was meant as an April Fools joke. We've contacted the author but have not yet received a reply.

Fantastic! I really do hope so, but then again, a KR site? "lul" much? What do Korean's know that the rest of the world don't?
EDIT: Okay fair enough on what the Korean's know, that the rest of the world don't!

As much as I want to believe, loop insight has a much better record for these things.

makes sense
apple has proven to have a winning formula by releasing a new phone every year
it would make no sense for them to change that

A random MacRumor member can tell you the iPhone is normally coming out at the end of June.

Sounds a little far fetched to me. Though I would like for it to be true.
Apple has made a lot of hardware announcements at WWDC in the past. If the iPhone is coming at the end of June, I'd expect the announcement to be made at the conference.

Very interesting as all of the rumours so far have not led us to believe a new iPhone will be coming this summer.
