iPhone 5 Release Date Not in June or July, According to an AT&T Rep is Just a Rumor

The only reason I make this post is because it’s getting a lot of attention around the web. A post on Mac Rumors is stating that one of their members e-mailed them telling them that an AT&T representative told them that there won’t be an iPhone 5 Release Date in June or July. Here is the exact quote:

Apple has informed us that they do not plan to release the iPhone in the June to July timeframe, though there will be a newer version in the future. Unfortunately, we have not been given a release time for the new phone. We will release this information on our website when it is available to us.

Now I doubt Apple has informed any AT&T rep about the release date of the iPhone 5 and I believe that whoever sent this tip to Mac Rumors just made it up. No Apple or AT&T representative is allowed to give out any  information on upcoming Apple software that hasn’t been announced by Apple.
Apple has already informed us that their WWDC 2011 conference will focus on software and operating systems but then again Apple has never announced any new iPhone hardware in their press releases so we can’t rule out that there won’t be any iPhone in June or July because Apple is secretive about these things until they’re actually released.  To find out whether or not a new iPhone 5 is launching, we’ll just need to wait until June 6 as that’s when Apple will hold their official Worldwide Developers Conference and announce new products.
