Rumor: Next iPhone will launch in October

The next iPhone may arrive in October, not September according to a new report from AllThingsD. A source familiar with Apple's plans claims the rumor that AT&T was blocking vacation at the end of September in preparation for an iPhone launch was incorrect. AT&T may still black out vacations for that time period, but it's not for the iPhone 5.

Instead, this source claims the iPhone 5 will launch in October, possibly late October. But what about Apple's annual iPod event in September and iOS which will launch this fall?

In the past, Apple has announced the iPhone a few weeks before its actual launch. It's possible that Apple may confirm the iPhone 5 in September for a mid-to-late October launch. iOS 5 should also be released around that time as well.

Damn. That's a shame. I was really hoping to get off of my 3Gs sooner than that. This is really going to mess up their 2012 and 2013 release cycles as well with thousands of fall 2011 subscribers still being on contract for both upcoming release dates.

I really don't like these rumors. My 3GS has been on life support for the past 2 months I'm trying hard to wait for the 5 instead of getting a 4.

What happened to TUAW's policy of not reporting on every Apple rumor that comes along?

This is still just unsubstantiated here-say

I'm totally in the same boat. Come on Apple, just release it already!
