14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has recently announced that it will delay the launch of Leopard OS X, with no less than four months, because according to them, the iPhone is now the top priority. The company's has finally confirmed that its most anticipated product, the iPhone will be rolled out "in late June as planned". Apple's plans don't really coincide with the 11th of June release, at the Worldwide Developers Conference, iPhone fans had in mind, which is why most of them would consider this a delay.
This is actually good news for two reasons. The first one is that since this is official information coming from Apple and not random sources or insiders, the iPhone's June release has now been confirmed. Secondly, even though the iPhone was previously expected to show up at the WWDC, on the 11th of June, its fans won't have to wait more than a couple of days from then to see it released.
This is the official statement: "Phone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can't wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is. However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price - we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned."
Now it looks like Apple has been struggling to avoid delaying the iPhone's launch and is said to have even moved developers from other projects (like Leopard) to the iPhone's team, to get the job done on time. Hopefully this won't affect the iPhone's overall quality and functionality.
