The “iPhone 5” rumor mill has, for the time being, settled on a date when Apple’s (AAPL) highly-anticipated smartphone will be released: September 21st. Both PhoneArena and App4Phone, neither of which has a proven track record with pre-release iPhone rumors, both cite unnamed sources who say that Apple will launch its latest iPhone on the third Friday in September. Although there’s no way of knowing whether these sources are accurate, a September 21st release would make sense since it would come shortly before Apple’s fourth fiscal quarter ends and would thus make an excellent time to mark the start of the “fall transition” to new products that Apple CEO Tim Cook talked about during his company’s earnings report earlier this week.
