iOS 6 launch likely as Apple confirms WWDC 2012 for June
iPhone 5? iPad 4? Thundercat? iPenguin?
Fresh from bathing in a pool of cash, Apple has confirmed the dates for WWDC 2012 as June 11 – 15.
Update: WWDC 2012 has now sold out. How long did that take? A little under two hours.
There's no real hint of what will be on the agenda for the developer conference's much-anticipated keynote speech, but as it's a software-based event, we're crossing our fingers for an iOS 6 reveal.
There may also be some new Mac software, although it would be very hot on the heels of Mountain Lion. Mac OS Thundercat, anyone?

There's also a chance, albeit slim, that we'll see the iPhone 5 unveiled at the June event, although we would be surprised if that doesn't land in October like the iPhone 4S.
But the MacBook Air and Pro lines are up for a refresh fairly soon, so they could be making a debut at the event too.
Tickets for the conference come with the not insubstantial price tag of $1,599 (about £992 plus plane ticket to San Francisco), and are limited to five per organisation.
