Many sources are claiming Apple does not introduce new hardware this year worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). Typically Apple at least presents the new iPhone software development Kit for the annual event and has made this software since 2007. May this year, select the first deviation from the schedule?
Three notable sources are saying that it will. John Biggs on CrunchGear argues that because the iPhone 4 is still a large seller, Apple will skip this year's review (at least at WWDC). Biggs also indicates the software of gravity WWDC press release, but readers it should be noted that there is an indication of whether or not we'll see Apple hardware for the event. Materials WWDC Apple usually does not make the PR to new from RTM API, from RTM API yet new arrive in the same way.
The other two sources of buzz no new iPhone is much more interesting. The first of them is The Loop Jim Dalrymple, which has a long history of guessing correctly, as far as Apple product releases. He claims, with the support of the Gartner Analyst Michael Gartenberg (another authority to be respected in the community to watch Apple) that Apple has no reason to not continue to follow an annual cycle, and that in this case, Apple does not, in fact, do this.
Finally, John Paczkowski AllThingsD ringtones as the most distinctive of all the evidence. He says he is "hearing explicitly" (although his sources remain unnamed) that this year the event will be only software WWDC. Is convergence of views between the top tech news outlets, suggesting Apple may have a vested interest in letting it be known that they do not see new hardware iPhone WWDC to lower expectations of customers in advance.
However, as already mentioned, Apple never indicated their previous announcements WWDC was a new Apple hardware on the horizon. And has another major reason Why Apple putting off release this time around it would be dangerous: many potential consumers is left on the table, you can skip to the LTE Android devices, many of which are coming on the market fairly quickly. Possible Apple might wait until later in the year to offer up iPhone that supports LTE, but differing from its schedule standard version without comment (and Apple has never been one to give customers a notice of product releases) can still lead to eroding user node.
That would be in the case of extremely long wait between, say, the MacBook upgrades too, but it is particularly important when it comes to smartphones, because many users only have to wait until their Contract Renewal comes before upgrading phones. Customers who bought AT&T 3GS devices when you are due for renewal this year, and many will not wait an additional six months for Apple to come up with new and improved equipment. 4 G Android devices equipped with LTE may appeal to the fragment of good customers, particularly in the demand for next generation networks company Verizon continues to grow.
In the end, I'm going to go ahead and suggest we can indeed continue to expect a new iteration of the iPhone come June. Gartenberg may be correct in pointing out Apple is not technically required to embed the annual timetable, but this does not mean not doing will not have an impact on its business. Apple's gone on his way in the past four years to establish the expectations of customers with annual hardware refresh. To frustrate these expectations now (particularly late, because the early release would be an entirely different thread) would be a serious mistake, and not Apple kind is likely to cause marketing machines.
