iPhone 5 Release Date

According to Korean site ETNews.co.kr, Apple is planning on releasing the iPhone 5 around June 26th. Multiple reports have already said that Apple will not be introducing the iPhone 5 during WWDC 2011 scheduled for June 6th. WWDC is said to be focusing on software only such as IOS5

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. 

This isn't likely because in the past Korea received the iPhone several months after the release in USA.


Will update if further news is posted.
