According to a source within AT&T (via BGR), there will be an announcement regarding a new iPhone in mid-June. Last week, plenty of next generation iPhone rumors were making the rounds, but this appears to be the first real confirmation coming from a source within AT&T.

  • New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device
  • U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)
  • The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.”
  • Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.
  • AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.
  • Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going
  • They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone.
  • Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.
BGR has an excellent history of providing accurate information, so there is no reason to believe this isn't completely on point. The mid-June release date coincides with WWDC, which runs June 9-13.
