New iPhone Out in June!

13/04/09

TechRadar love a rumour as much as anyone else, but the sheer volume of articles relating to 'actual' reasons for a new phone makes us want to weep.

For instance, O2 was supposed to be selling all its stock of the iPhone in preparation for a new one. Then it unveils a new 24-month contract, and people think this proves its multi-year deal with Apple is over. You just can't win with iPhone conspiracies.

But recently things have taken a turn for the more 'solid', with bigger names coming into play and more people of the belief we'll be seeing a new iPhone in the summer. Whether this is the oft-mooted iPhone nano or an overhaul of the current style, we just can't tell, but here are TechRadar's reasons to believe it's all going down this June...

1. The developers' conference in June

OK, it could be just a conference for developers. But then again, we thought that last year was just a conference, until the belief started to grow that we'll be seeing a new iPhone around the same time it was announced last year. Past actions might not be a marker of future plans, but hey, this is Apple...

2. New screen shots

We've all seen a photoshopped screenshot in our time, and this could likely be nothing more. But a recent report of an iPhone screen showing the use of a video camera has been backed up by various hackers finding screenshots from the new device when poking around in the iPhone 3.0 firmware, so these pictures seem to hint at a new hardware upgrade.
