Apple Rumor Roundup: 3G iPhone, MacBooks and more in June?
[I apologize for the horribly rendered photoshop job above - it's all I could throw together in 30 seconds. Of course I'm not part of those 60% of Photoshop users who pirated it *cough*. As you can see, with my skills, it's not worth the $6oo price tag - that's my excuse.]
If you’ve been following the Apple blogs and rumor websites recently, you will have noticed a sudden surge in rumors about product launches in June. It all started with MacBook and MacBook Pro revision rumors expected to launch at the WWDC, and lead to 3G iPhone rumors in June, too. Here’s a list of everything so far:
The Mac Mini is not dead yet - it’s going to live on with more processor upgrades, and possibly a smaller case redesign.

Penryn iMacs are expected to be launched, after the success of the newly-launched Penryn MacBook Pros - don’t expect a redesign, though.
MacBooks and MacBook Pros have both been recently updated, but only in terms of internal specifications -the design still remains the same. Many are expecting a complete redesign of the MacBook and MacBook Pro in June, most likely launched at the WWDC.

Last but not least is the iPhone. Walt Mossberg recently caused a lot of speculation when, during a conversation about IPTV & Broadband, he said that “the 3G iPhone is coming in 60 days“. Well, now he’s saying quite the opposite. However, analysts still predict a 3G iPhone worldwide for June.
Out of all the rumors mentioned above, this is the most likely one - AT&T’s CEO even said it himself.

What do you think: Will any of these products come out in June, or will Apple wait until later this year?
