New Apple (AAPL) iPhone Rumor: June 9 Launch

Perhaps the reason those Apple (AAPL) 2.5G iPhones are so hard to come by is that the launch date for the 3G versions is set for June 9. Why have a lot of inventory of the old stuff that no one will want?

According to Gizmodo, "Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The second-generation iPhone will be available worldwide right after the launch."

The news can’t be good for RIM (RIMM), which is coming out with its iPhone-killer in the third quarter. If Apple gets a four or five month lead, interest in the new Blackberry-brother is likely to be very, very modest.

Being first into the market with a high-end 3G product is a strategic move that will give Apple an edge, particularly if it can sell a couple of million phones worldwide in the first month.
