iPhone 5 Launch Date Tipped For AT&T: Late September

This morning it appears that at least one anonymous yet reliable source is reporting that the AT&T version of the new iPhone (aka the iPhone 5) will be the third or fourth week of September. This tip comes from a person in the know speaking with BGR so we cannot wholly guarantee that this time span is a fix, but given the rumored announcement date of the device, it does seem likely. The announcement date for the iPhone 5 has been reported by several sources close to the matter as being September 12th.

This device is also being tipped as having AT&T put an "all hands on deck" order down for the last couple of weeks in September and throughout October as well. Another AT&T source speaking with BGR noted that a "huge" training event for regional employees that was once set for the first week in October has now been pushed to a later date due to a conflict. The conflict, they say, is a "huge announcement" which we must assume is the release of the new iPhone.

This device will likely be announced as Apple's newest hero smartphone working with iOS 6 and in stores near the end of September. Along with this device will possibly be announced a new size of iPad, that being the fabled "iPad mini" with a 7-inch display. Both of these devices, if they both appear or not, will quite likely be carrying a brand new dock connector with 8 pins rather than the current 30 as you've been using on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod devices since they were first released.

Feel free to have a peek at the rest of our iPhone 5 (or The New iPhone, if you wish) in our new iPhone portal.
