The new iPhone will be unveiled by Apple on June 7, at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. According to Steve Jobs the iPhone could be available on the same day and the main focus will be iPhone and iPad software and app development.

There is every single possibility that Apple may curtail the usual timescale between announcing the launch of a new mobile device and its availability in shops. Usually, the new iPhone which is unveiled at WWDC, goes on sale several weeks later, but this time, Apple has said to make it available on the same day as the announcement.

Gizmodo, managed to acquire a prototype of the new iPhone that had been dropped in a bar by an Apple engineer. Gizmodo is at present involved in a legal battle as it was held responsible for the leak.

Scott Forstall, senior Vice President of iPhone software at Apple said, “WWDC provides a unique opportunity for developers to work side-by-side with Apple engineers and interface designers to make their iPhone and iPad apps even better”.

The Worldwide Developer Conference is conventionally used by Apple to launch new iPhone models, along with software updates for the iPhone operating system. The conference runs from June 7 until 11 in San Francisco.
