Despite multiple reports suggesting Apple and AT&T are each blocking employee vacations and making preparations for increased foot traffic in September, a new rumor suggests the iPhone won’t actually launch until October. Journal blog AllThingsD cites multiple anonymous sources in claiming Apple’s next-generation iPhone will launch in October, possibly even late in the month. “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” one of the blog’s sources said, responding to questions about why AT&T might have blacked out employee vacations in late September. Other sources the blog spoke with said the handset would launch late in the month. Early reports suggested Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone would be a modest update featuring the same case design as the iPhone 4, but more recent reports say the device could feature a redesigned exterior that is slimmer, wider and longer than the current-generation iPhone.

    That is unfortunate.  I wish it would go on sale today and furthermore I hope it does contain some advancements beyond what any Android phones do currently.  Why?  Because it will help spur innovation which is better for all.

    As soon as the 5th iPhone launches they’ll start right up with 6th one. And when the 5th one launches BGR is like “you heard it hear first guys…” Yeah cause u claimed it’d release June, July, August, September, now October! Just stop for the love of mobile devices please!

    Looks like Apple is starting to trip up. Or maybe they found another AntennaGate in the making before launch and decided that this time, they will actually fix the issue before releasing it rather than tell people that they are holding it wrong.

    Breaking News. Iphone 5 won’t be out until December 15.  They wanted to launch it as close to Christmas as possible.
