We have a date! Techcrunch asserts the iPhone 5 will launch Sept. 21
Confirming end-of-September vacation blackout dates for Verizon has prompted Techcrunch to deduce that the iPhone 5 will make its debut on Friday, September 21. The iPhone 5 is expected to be announced by Apple at an event on September 12. Writes Jordan Crook at TC:
A trusted Verizon employee has just confirmed to TechCrunch that the carrier is having an all-staff vacation blackout from the dates of Friday, September 21 to September 30. You know what that means, right?
The next iPhone, whether it’s called the iPhone 5 or simply the new iPhone, will almost certainly be available in stores (with lines wrapping around the back of them) starting Friday, September 21.
Can’t wait to see what this iteration has in store. Be sure to follow @Technocrat_MW and join our mailing list for all the updates on the day of the announcement!
