Breaking: iPhone 3G Launch Date Confirmed

News Type: Event — Seeded on Tue May 20, 2008 11:00 AM EDT

Article Source: Gizmodo

We all suspected it, but now it is confirmed: someone very, very close to the 3G iPhone launch has told me that Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The second-generation iPhone will be available worldwide right after the launch, and not at year's end, as previously thought. The new model will also herald new sales policies in some countries.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Well I do somewhat remember making that exact same posting about a month ago when I saw this come out....

And as a backup, then no later then Tuesday as that is the normal day... I still wonder if they are going to do any MacBook Pro changes, I have heard rumors of a case change also around June, so I am still holding out.

Keynote

"somebody very, very close to Apple" once told me to never trust rumors from people "very,very close to Apple." Sometimes they turn out to the be true (lucky guesses?), but usually they are wrong.

Here's a list of the top ten Apple rumors of all time, with a score card as to which ones turned out true.

True. I would have discounted it myself, except that all the signs point to something like this.

That was an interesting list, for some reason I guess I missed the Nintendo rumor..

No surprise here. Everyone is expecting this anyway.
