The rumor about a new iPhone 5 / 4S has spread across the web and has caused many to believe that it may just be Steve Jobs’ “One More Thing”. Apple earlier in the week announced that during the WWDC keynote event Jobs will offer an extensive look at Mac OS X Lion, iOS 5 (next iteration of iOS) and iCloud (Apple’s upcoming cloud based service).

An event based entirely on software is a very unlikely move for Apple. The rumor mill believes that iPhone 5 / 4S could be unveiled at this years WWDC as a surprise. Fifth gen iPhone according to various reports we’ve published will feature a dual-core A5 chip, an 8 megapixel camera and support both GSM and CDMA networks on one global device.

Unlike previous years Apple has already shared details about the conference in their press release. Could this be a calculated move to suddenly unveil the next gen iPhone when everyone least expects it?

Apple might not introduce an all-new-design for its smartphone this year and A5 chip has already been introduced with iPad 2. So, the basic hardware changes Apple could be looking at might just be ready for the next gen iPhone.

Whether the iPhone 5 / 4S is revealed or not, Apple will definitely be putting on a big event for investors and customers alike, improving their services and exploring new environments with cloud based offerings.

We have been discussing Apple’s upcoming cloud services called “iCloud” for a while and now just before the WWDC keynote event its showing all signs of coming to life. Patently Apple recently reported that Apple Inc. has applied for “iCloud” trademark in Europe under “12 distinct international classes” which cover a wide range of services the company could offer. In its application Apple mentions services like delivering digital music by telecommunications, electronic storage, online social networking services, multimedia content for a fee or pre-paid subscription, computer software, electronic books and magazines, entertainment, photographic services, business management and advertising services, games, headgear and digital devices/computers.

Google and Amazon already have a head start over Apple in cloud based services however, only Apple is believed to have secured license deals with major music labels which include Sony, Warner Music and EMI. This will give Apple an edge over its competitors. iCloud could simply scan the computer and automatically sync songs, movies and TV shows to the cloud giving access to the content you own anytime and anywhere.

Worldwide Developers Conference will kick off with a keynote event by Steve Jobs and other Apple executives. Unlike, previous WWDC this year the primary focus will be software where the “next generation software” will be unveiled. Mac OS X Lion is believed to have reached final stages of testing and could be made available after the event on June 06. The latest developer build of Snow Leopard updates Mac App Store so that your Mac is ready for the upgrade.

With a constant flow of news and reports Apple certainly has been successful in building up the excitement as the event is now just 4 days away. On Tuesday, iWork suite of productivity apps were updated to a universal binary which means that now you can install Pages, Keynote and Numbers on your iPhone or iPod touch.

The recent prototype leak of iPhone 4G / HD and Steve Jobs comments on the lost device provide enough evidence for us to believe that Jobs will certainly unveil the new iPhone 4G / HD during his keynote.
