Apple iOS 6 launch date set for June 2012

The next major update to Apple's iOS operating system for iPhone and iPad may be announced in the second week of June if the rumoured date for the WWDC turns out to be correct.

At WWDC last year, which fell on June 7th, Apple unleashed iOS 5 complete with revamped notifications, reminders, iMessage, Newsstand and more, so it would make sense for the company to bring us the first look at iOS 6 this time around.

The Moscone Center in San Francisco has been booked out for a week for an unidentified "conference meeting" starting on June 11th. Both the venue and the timescale are in line with Apple's traditional developer expo.
