As we previously stated, Apple has yet to send out media invites for its iPhone 5 release event or even verbally announce the official date. There has been a plethora of rumours about iPhone 5 release date, some of them even hinted at an iPhone 5 release in September. Regardless, a very well connected source pegs iPhone 5 release on October 4. Apart from that, it has also come to our notice that Apple won’t be organizing the iPhone 5 release event at some big event in San Francisco, rather its going to be a small event with limited audience seated inside the Apple Town Hall Auditorium on the company’s Cupertino HQ.
Even though the screenshot posted above of this page on Vodafone UK’s website doesn’t explicitly mention the iPhone 5, they do call it this year’s biggest smartphone release, which undoubtedly is the iPhone 5. Not to mention the fact that Apple’s fifth generation iPhone is probably the only device that has such a massive amount of rumours flowing around prior to its release. Vodafone is totally right about one thing though, it is time to end the rumours, seriously we’ve had enough iPhone 5 rumours for one lifetime.
On the other hand, Rogers in Canada is texting its existing customers to subscribe to Roger’s Registration Service which will alert them as soon as the iPhone 5 release and is available for sale in Canada. Looking at these facts it seems hard to deny that the mobile carriers know something about iPhone 5 release date. It would be a bit too foolish for carriers to get their subscribers’ hopes up while acting merely on rumour and speculation. They too have a reputation at stake. Apart from that, this advertising couldn’t have been put up at a more convenient time, considering the fact that it is highly likely that Apple is releasing iPhone 5 on October 4.
