This past weekend, we broke the news that iOS 5, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, was likely being released in the fall. This would break the tradition of a summer release. And we also noted that instead of a separate event in the early spring, Apple was likely to use their WWDC event in June to talk about the new OS for the first time. Sure enough, today came word from Apple that seems to verify both things. Apple will host WWDC in San Francisco on June 6 through June 10, they formally announced today. The focus of the event? "At this year?s conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS," Apple marketing exec Phil Schiller says in the release. Yes, that means iOS 5 as well as OS X Lion. We previously reported that Lion development was moving along quickly and it could mean a release around WWDC. I suspect we may at least see a release candidate given to developers around then. And if Apple intends to first show off iOS 5 at the event, they won't release it then. Developers will need time to prepare their apps for the big changes in store.
