AT&T preps for early to mid-September iPhone 5 launch

Exclusive July 25, 2011

BGR has exclusively learned that AT&T has begun communicating launch plans internally for Apple’s next-generation iPhone 5 handset. We have been told that AT&T has begun informing employees across the company, and those who work in retail locations, to finish any sort of employee training as soon as possible. AT&T is asking managers to finish training in order to have employees available for the influx of foot traffic expected in September, a proven source has shared with us. Other reports indicate that Apple is looking to hire additional Apple Store staff to be on hand for “new product launches” during the same period of time, further supporting our information. Apple is expected to announce the company’s next-generation iPhone at the end of August, with a launch to follow in the first half of September.

    You need to start showing the correct AT&T building.  They are in Dallas, and that photo is not their headquarters.

      Where does it say on the post “the pic” is from the head quarter ?
      Or you just want to share your knowledge about where at&t the “TRUE” head quarter is ?

    Anyone else thinks the AT&T building looks like a transformer? Probably a Decepticon.

    So is there official word on when a new iPhone comes out (like the iPhone 5) on AT&T, will it come out on Verizon too at the same time?

    All I care about is, will it be available on TMobile.  The rest is just details.

    I’m only interested in the iPhone 5 if it has dual core processor.  Nothing else is worth an upgrade.
