With many rumors and speculation about the release date of the iPhone recently, it was a surprise to some to receive a “teaser” e-mail from Apple about the iPhone. Earlier rumors from a “Customer Service Manager” at Cingular put the iPhone’s release date at June 11th.

This e-mail somewhat confirms that date. The e-mail contains an image of the iPhone and this message:

“Talk to you soon- Thanks for signing up. You’ll be the first to hear the latest about iPhone— coming this June. That gives you just enough time to think of ways to break the news to your current phone.”

There is still a lot of speculation if Apple will drop the price of the iPhone as was rumored in a market survey a month or so ago. I personally would like to get my hands on one, but the $399 is just a little too steep for me. I will definitely keep an eye out for updates on this.
