Apple is set to release iTunes 11 next week, and most likely to make iTunes 11 available for download on Wed 14 November, according to Mac website Cult Of Mac.
The Mac site has analysed past iTunes releases, and states that "two were released on Sunday, fourteen on Monday, twenty on Tuesday, twenty five on Wednesday, sixteen on Thursday, and seven on Friday. That means that Wednesday is the first most likely day for a new iTunes version to be released, followed by Tuesday, then Thursday."
Given that Apple is more likely to release it on a Wednesday, the site also states that of the five versions of iTunes released in November, none have launched later than 20 November. This makes sense as America celebrates Thanksgiving on 22 November 2012, and many staff - including Apple staff - will be out of the office. So it's better to ship it before, or it could slip until December (which would be embarrassing for Apple as iTunes 11 is already perceived as being late).
It's all guesswork, but sounds like good guesswork. We'll find out next week.

In writing this article, Hattersley not only set out to mislead and draw in readers with words such as "available for download" in the title, but he has also and without doubt, obfuscated his own semi illiterate article, by not citing any sources for his data. I suggest Mr Hattersley, that you take the remuneration earned from the adds on this site, and put it towards furthering your education. As for iTunes 11, off course it will be released next week, in order to compete with Google Play, which you failed to mention.

Well, it's the 15th Thurs 2012.. No iTunes. Not only did you plagiarise this article form the cult of mac, but you
have also proven how your standards are no better then those found on BBC's Newsnight. Please go back to selling TV's and Kettles at Argos.
