Apple Back to School Sale June 16th – Sept 20th

We’ll it’s going to be a day late, and a iPod short.  Apple’s 2011 Back To School promotion starts Thursday June 16th and runs through September 20th.  This year they are offering a 100 dollars iTunes gift card.  This is the gift that will keep giving.  Back to Apple that is.  Though the money can be used to stock up on essential apps or just get you some fresh music.

This link should work tomorrow, I will update it if it becomes different.  Currently it points to the expiration of last years B2S sale.

Breaking – Unlocked iPhones Tuesday June 14th

If this is true then customers who has a compatible CDMA or GSM service in the US will be able to buy an iPhone unlocked for full retail price and use it on a carrier of their choosing.  This information provided by Chronicwire over at Twitter is the latest in a series of Rumors including the Back to School sales, and a refresh of the MacBook Air hardware to include Sandybridge and Thunderbolt.  It looks like these announcements will be quiet and expect to see the next Apple media event sometime in September for their usual, but this time we may get a date for iOS 5, although Fall technically goes through Dec 21st, lets hope that Apple does not pull an AT&T with the launch date.
