In an press release Apple revealed it will kick off the annual Worldwide Developers Conference with a keynote address on Monday (June 6) by unveiling Lion, the newest version of Apple's OS X operating system, as well as their still not fully understood online service, iCloud.
"At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software - Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; and iCloud, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering."
Previous rumors have suggested that Apple had plans for a surprise iPhone 5 announcement at the WWDC, but the May 31 Apple press release mentions nothing about introducing any hardware.
Even though Apple has made their intentions clear, some blogs are still pushing iPhone 5 rumors.
Like one blog claiming AT&T running out of the iPhone 4 is a sign that the iPhone 5 is right around the corner. Cult of Mac noted later that the black iPhone 4 is now back in stock on the AT&T website.
CNET notes, "Along with iCloud and iOS 5, Lion is given a spot at the very front of the pack. Apple first introduced the upcoming version of the Mac OS at an event back in October, and is likely to offer a price and release date at Monday's keynote."
