According to John Paczkowski of the Wall Street Journal blog AllThingsD, At&t’s late September employee vacation blackout has nothing to do with the iPhone 5 launch. In fact, the iPhone 5 is not coming in September, it will arrive in October. A bold prediction, but will the rumor pan out?
Predicting the iPhone 5 launch is becoming a bit like the Verizon iPhone rumors. If you keep throwing out dates, eventually one will stick. AllThingsD joins the list of major publications citing inside sources who claim to know Apple’s big day. In this case, the inside source said, “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch.”
October is the month of reckoning. When asked for a specific date, the source decline, but did say it will be later in the month, rather than earlier. So there you have it, the latest iPhone 5 rumors have the smartphone launching in late October 2011.
Will the rumors pan out? Only time will tell, but come October we’ll know whether AllThingsD lives or dies by the sword.
