Early Launch. Apple orders parts.

More rumors about the release of iPhone has found its way around the internet again. Freshly fueled by a report from the China Economic News Service, T3 has speculated that the iPhone could possibly get an earlier-than-when-everyone-expected release. This is due to the fact that Apple has already asked for parts for the iPhone, which will begin its mass manufacturing next month.

This little detail has led T3 to assume that Apple's probably gotten the green-light from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). With a go-signal for manufacturing, this could also possibly mean that a few "gaps in development" have now been filled in, and that the software for the mobile phone has been finished. Sound logic, T3; personally, I'd like to hope as much for an early release too.

yes! i hope it comes earlier than june

I doubt they would release it even if it is done tommorow. They would use the extra time to work out the kinks.

It would be cool if it came out early, but apple RARELY releases things early. Plus, I THINK the WWDC is in June, which, you know is the way they like to officially release things...

Yeah, the WWDC is June 11-15. If I had to bet on a release date, I would bet on June 11th.

I agree as well, I do not believe that they will be releasing it before June. And I think it's safe to say that ever since the "Hello" commercial was released, it means that the FCC has already given them the green light. I am also betting on a release date on the week of June 11-15.

yeah they would definately use the extra time to work out kinks or increase their production numbers for a complete, shortage free launch
