Apple will launch its next-generation iPhone 5 in five initial markets on October 14th according to a new report from Macotakara. The site, which has a mixed track record, reports that Apple will release the new device in the United States, the U.K., Germany, Japan and France on that date, with launches in additional markets to follow. The date aligns closely with earlier comments from France Telecom CEO Stéphane Richard, who said the iPhone 5 would launch from Orange on October 15th, a Saturday. Apple launched the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS on Fridays, and the iPhone 4 launched on a Thursday last year. Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to unveil at least one new iPhone model next week at a press conference to be held at the company’s Cupertino, California campus.

      Then speculation on the iPhone 6 will start. Hell, what am I saying, BGR is already speculating on it.

    When Tim Cook gives his speech and doesn’t mention anything about the iPhone 5…..it will be funny to watch all the little girl iSheep cry for days.

      Yes, and when he does announce it it will be funny to watch all the fanDroids cry for days.

        More like weeks & months. Of course, one of the nerds/geeks will generate some rumor trying to knock it down. And they’ll all jump on the bandwagon.

      I hate when my browser makes me go to the sites I hate and forces me to read articles against my will and then post about the site and articles, save me please!

  • Anuvrat Bhansali

    I guess you are calling him Time Cook because he is taking too much time to unveil the next iPhone.

    • BurleyShells

      No, I think it’s because these articles are never editted and look like they were written by high-schoolers.

      • Lilstevie

        You should try phone arena then. At least this site’s article look like they were written by high-schoolers who speak english as a first language.

    Ok.  The iPhone 5 needs NFC, 8 MP camera, 1 GB RAM, dual processor, 4.2″ screen or higher for me to even consider this.

      Won’t happen.

      • Sabu213

        Where do you go in a normal week that NFC is available and your missing out?

      Throw in fragmentation, crappy OS and malware and sounds like there are many Android phones you can choose from!

        Typical homo ass comments from yet another Android freak.  No wonder they say gay porn is the biggest draw for Android users.

    I doubt Many Techies Care.. The iFAD is over.  Most have moved on.. Like me.. Not much room for a phone (4) that has issues being used as a phone to actually make calls.

    • Anonymous

      Is that why the iPhone and the iPhone 3GS are still the two top selling phones in the world?

      I like how you ‘moved on’ and assume that most of the other 6 billion people on this planet are thinking the same as you.

        By techies he meant trolls, losers and basement dwellers

    I’m really curious to see when this phone will really launch and everytime BGR puts out a post regarding a launch its all BS. BGR come on make some friend that works with Apple to let us know when it really gets release… Be nice to your reader dont post all this guess,analist BS.

  • max

    And yet another cool phone RImjobbing Morons won’t get because hey, it doesn’t have a keyboard and who needs stupid apps anyway right?

  • Bringit

    Everybody wants one.

    Yes, this particular date has been “said” by nearly everyone except, you know, Apple. I love that the “Related Posts” list “Apple may unveil iPhone 5 on September 7th” and “AT&T preps for early to mid-September iPhone 5 launch.” How many times do analysts get to be wrong before they stop getting to be analysts anymore?

  • DREW J

    Lol at all you people who argue with each other to stick up for your phones OS like you get paid to when you don’t..haha go outside nerds and get some pussy..or dick whatever your into..

  • Ulysses Grant

    BGR is running out of things to write so they started writing speculation dates that goes either October 4 or 14. I read so many different version of articles about this damn speculation. 

    I should start writing my own speculation too.. iPhone 7 will be release in September 2013!

  • Lilstevie

    One thing I do like about Apple – they launch initially in the US. All these other companies launch in Asia/Europe, and 3-6 months later we get it.

  • http://twitter.com/m3th4mp Richard Ward

    Do we have any information on iPhone X?

    Only apple likes be as secretive as a cult!! Actually it makes me think they are a cult.
