Looks like it could be a scorching summer for iPhone fans. Industry speculation about when Apple plans to launch the 3G second-generation iPhone is focusing on June, following predictions by Bank of America analyst Scott Craig:
“Our latest channel checks point to a significant production build of a 3G iPhone beginning in the month of June after an initial small build in May.”
Specifically, Craig reckons Apple will build more than three million 3G iPhones in May, then ramp up production on more than eight million during the third quarter of this year. June would also make sense, since Apple’s developer convention, WWDC08, takes place from 9-13 June in San Francisco, providing Steve Jobs with the ideal stage to unveil the 3G iPhone. And, of course, June is also the month when the iPhone App Store is due to launch.
