AT&T reportedly confirms iPhone launch in October
The next iPhone is expected to launch with both AT&T and Verizon Wireless at the same time, giving the two carriers an equal footing for the first time. Both versions are also expected to work globally, according to a Verizon executive.
The iPhone 5 (or whatever Apple ends up naming it) release rumor mill is going full steam these days and that usually means that the actual release date is getting close to being announced. This report is about a loose-lipped AT&T employee prepping his staff to get ready for early October. Until Apple announces some sort of event, it’s hard to put any stock in all this speculation, however it does seem to be getting more focused on late September - early October as the projected release date.
