Apple may be preparing to surprise customers with the launch of Mac OS X Lion on June 14th, according to 9to5Mac. Sources have indicated to 9to5Mac that Apple may surprise customers with a Tuesday, June 14 launch of the next-generation Mac operating system. Our sources could not confirm with certainty that the launch will take place that day, but due to a mixture of chatter from several sources we believe the June 14th date is a strong possibility. The source offers a few indicators that support this date: Apple is reportedly planning a new store front window and in-store signage changes for the 14th. These are different than the changes planned for June 7th. Apple is apparently minimizing software presence in their retail stores on that day. Perhaps meaning the removal of Snow Leopard from their shelves. Mr. X has told 9to5Mac that Apple’s supplies of Mac OS X Snow Leopard are dwindling. Mac OS X Lion is expected to be available via the Mac App Store with an additional app purchase that will add server capabilities. More information on Mac OS X Lion will be available after the WWDC 2011 keynote tomorrow.
