iPhone to be Available on June 20

According to a CNBC report late Thursday, an AT&T phone store said that the iPhone is expected to be available on June 20. There are still no pre-orders for the the much awaited phone but there may be a waiting list as of the week before the launch.

An Apple spokeswoman would not confirm or deny the date, however she did say "We have said consistently that we're looking forward to shipping the iPhone in late June and that has not changed."

She also noted that when the phone launches, it will be available at the Apple Store as well as AT&T Stores. No word on if the phone will be available in the Apple Store online though.

Shares of Apple (AAPL) rose on the news of the "confirmed launch date". Many investors are feeling more confident that Apple will ship the product on time.

Many are skeptical since Apple tends to launch most new products on Monday or Tuesday. We'll take June 20th even if it's a Sunday!
