Rumors Rife: iPhone 5 Coming In Early October

Everyone’s been playing the guessing game about the release date of the new iPhone 5. If you’ve been guessing early to mid October, you might be right on the money. With the new report released by the Wall Street Journal about Sprint’s new contract to sell the new version of the Apple iPhone, rumors have set the world ablaze with speculations about the release being scheduled for mid-October.

While nothing has been officially confirmed, undisclosed sources have confirmed that Sprint will start selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October this year. The rumor has already given Sprint a boost in the stock market, with the share prices increasing steadily since the news was leaked.

And Sprint is apparently not the only one gearing up for an October release. A “high-level” contact at AT&T reportedly told BGR that the company’s VP has notified a handful of staff to begin preparing for the launch as the new Apple Smartphone will indeed be available from early October.

Verizon too, had confirmed in July, that they were expecting to start selling the new Apple phone in fall.

The fact that earlier this month, iPhone 5s were actually sent to carriers for testing, has further added to the crazed rumor mill. Also, keeping in mind that Apple product launches have been like clockwork in the past, with most iPhone releases being scheduled for the summer. Being October, although not exactly summer, it is extremely close to a late summer release date.

What will the new iPhone bring? Although not officially announced, with the help of several blurry camera shots and rumors that have been circulating, there are speculations that the iPhone 5 will feature a design similar to the iPhone 4 and will also feature a new bezel on the back. Not only that, it will most likely feature the A5 chip transferred over from the iPad 2 giving it more processing power than ever before.

Going by the release of any other iPhone, companies expect the launch to extremely hectic. Considering how crazed people get when they hear the phrase “new iPhone” and “release” in the same sentence, they have sufficient cause for concern.
