Apple To Reveal iOS 5, Lion Features At WWDC
Is WWDC 2011 really going to be about software? Maybe! Apple's yearly developers meeting has become the launchpad for great new hardware in years past. In fact, the iPhone refresh has come at WWDC the past couple of years. But it looks like this year's event may actually be about software, not hardware. According to a new release (shown in full below), Apple will take the chance to unveil Lion, the eighth major release of OS X, as well as iOS 5, the next version of the mobile OS that powers iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
WWDC will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers, and while the company's clearly not giving away any secrets, this does lend credence to the thought that the new iPhone won't be announced here. Maybe it'll be the "one last thing," but we're just trying to let you down lightly here. Of course, new software is also great, but the real question is this: "when's the new iPhone coming?"
