Apple expected to unveil new iPhone in June
- Apple has announced its Worldwide Developers Conference will kick off June 7
- The company is expected to introduce a new iPhone at the WWDC, as it did last year
- We can also expect more details about the next iPhone operating system, iPhone OS 4
(Wired) -- Apple on Wednesday announced the dates of its Worldwide Developers Conference, where the company is expected to introduce a new iPhone (even though tech blog Gizmodo may have spoiled the surprise).
Taking place June 7 to June 11 at San Francisco's Moscone West, the five-day conference includes hands-on sessions for software developers to become familiar with iPhone OS 4 and Mac OS X.
In previous WWDC events, Apple has announced new products during a keynote presentation that kicks off the conference.
Apple has announced new iPhones during both WWDC 2008 and WWDC 2009, so we expect the introduction of a fourth-generation iPhone. Because the conference is software-centric, we can also expect more details about the next iPhone operating system, iPhone OS 4, which was previewed in early April.
Meanwhile, the tech community is still bubbling with a mixture of excitement and anger over Gizmodo's publication of a lost iPhone prototype, which many believe is a near-final version of the fourth-generation iPhone.

Police have since launched an investigation on the case of the missing iPhone, which involved raiding the house of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen and seizing his electronic equipment -- an action whose validity is being disputed.
Wired.com reported Tuesday that police have identified the finder of the phone, but a name has not yet been disclosed to the public.
