Sources say there will be no new iPhone at WWDC 2011.

According to sources unfamiliar with matter, there will be no new iPhone at WWDC 2011 contrary to currently circulating rumors of iPhone 4S. Apple is likely to seed iOS 5 to registered iOS Developers following WWDC Keynote.

iOS 5 is reportedly bringing the much-needed new UI changes to iPhone 4. One source even said that iOS 5 requires the minimum of Apple A4; this is yet to be confirmed.

WWDC will kick off with Keynote from Steve Jobs and team of Apple Executives on Monday June 6th, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. You can find links to the live coverage here.
