(Wired) -- Apple has traditionally debuted new iPhones at its annual software developers conference, but this year's event in June will be 100 percent software news, according to a report.

Citing anonymous tipsters, well-sourced Apple blogger Jim Dalrymple claims there will be no iPad, iPhone or Mac hardware introduced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off June 6 in San Francisco.

Apple's press release announcing the event doesn't give much hope for any hardware announcements.

"At this year's conference we are going to unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "If you are an iOS or Mac OS X software developer, this is the event that you do not want to miss."

Apple will likely give details on the next-gen Mac operating system, OS X Lion, and the next version of its mobile OS, iOS 5.

New cloud-based features will likely be included in iOS 5 (think online storage, or a "music locker" service). It may not be released until fall, according to a TechCrunch report. That means an iPhone 5 would probably release in the fall timeframe with the launch of iOS 5.

My contract just ended with my 3GS and I was hoping to hold out with this until the summer when the iPhone 5 was supposed to come out. With the news that it'll probably release in the Fall, I don't know if I should upgrade to the iPhone 4 right now or wait an extra 3-5 months than expected.

My 2-year-old 3GS is super busted -- cracked outer casing, scratched screen and the battery life is shortening.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]This is not an Android vs. iOS thread, I prefer iOS and that's final. I've used one of the newest Android phones (Galaxy S) and I just like the iPhone's OS better.[/color]

What do you guys think? I could also probably flip the iPhone 4 in the Fall to try and cut the price on a non-contract iPhone 5.

iphone 4 is amazing, you wont regret it

How they going to come out with a new iPhone if they havnt release the iPhone 4 in white yet?

My best bet is they going to release the iPhone 4 in white with some upgrades.
