3G iPhone Release Date: June 9th

May 20, 2008 in Apple, Handsets

The moment you’ve been waiting for is coming on June 9th and you heard it here… second.

Gizmodo is reporting that on June 9th, Apple will announce the 3G version of the Apple iPhone during their keynote at WWDC. But announcing it isn’t all they will do - the 3G iphone will be available for purchase just after the announcement, according to sources close to the Giz.

The official launch date might vary from country to country and the terms and price points and details will be variable and subject to change. For example, “the 3G iPhone will be available for sale at the June 18th grand opening of Telefonica’s megastore—an Apple Store-like shop located in the company’s historical building in Madrid’s Gran Vía— with nationwide availability right the next day or after a few hours.”

Sounds like they want to milk each launch in each location for as much press, publicity and fanfare as they can get. Can you blame them? On one hand, not really… but on the other, do they need any more press than they’ll already get?

Make sure to check your local newspaper the day afterwards for a priceless picture of yourself waiting in a long line that stretches numerous city blocks. Enjoy the festivities!
