No iPhone 5 at Apple’s Summer Conference

No iPhone 5 at Apple’s Summer Conference

Apple has traditionally debuted new iPhones at its annual software developers conference, but this year’s event in June will be 100-percent software news, according to a report.

Citing anonymous tipsters, well-sourced Apple blogger Jim Dalrymple claims there will be no iPad, iPhone or Mac hardware introduced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off June 6 in San Francisco.

Apple’s press release announcing the event doesn’t give much hope for any hardware announcements.

“At this year’s conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss.”

Apple will likely give details on the next-gen Mac operating system, OS X Lion, and the next version of its mobile OS, iOS 5.

iOS 5 will likely introduce new cloud-based features (think online storage, or a “music locker” service), and it may not be released until fall, according to a TechCrunch report.

That means an iPhone 5 would probably release in that time frame with the launch of the new version of iOS.
