iPhone 5 release date might be most buzzing topic among tech geeks. The rumors about the iPhone 5 launch being in October have finally been confirmed: Apple has officially set iPhone 5 launch event for October 4. The invite of the event clearly says, “Let’s talk iPhone”. It has been very smartly presented: The date is indicated as part of the iOS calendar app, the time by the clock, and the location (which is to be Apple’s campus) by the Maps icon.
Previously there had been lots of rumors about the iPhone 5 release date. Some reports were saying that it might be released in September while others were saying it might be released in October. The October 4 date was first hinted at by All Things D’s John Paczkowski last week. He reported that the new Apple CEO Tim Cook will officially announce the iPhone 5 during a special media event.
It has been reported that Apple has sent out invitations to an event on October 4 when the iPhone 5 announcement is expected. Jim Dalrymple from The Loop has posted on his blog that he has received the invitation by Apple and he will be at the event on October 4. For the very first time the event will be held at Apple’s Cupertino HQ, the famous campus address at 10am PT. Outsiders hardly ever visit the complex so seeing the company on its home turf this time is definitely going to create a rage among the media persons. Invitations are currently being distributed to select members of the press and it is being reported that a UK event is planned in the company’s Covent Garden store.
The invite of this event specifically says “Let’s talk iPhone”, besides the four iOS icons depicting the date, time and location of the venue. The company remained silent about what the ‘event’ might launch. However, it is set to be something classic. And so it seems the official iPhone 5 launch event is set to be on Tuesday, October 4, which is consistent with the day of the week of other major Apple media events. Apple has apparently blocked retail employees from taking days off the second week of October, which coincides with the rumored release of iOS 5, Apple’s new mobile operating system, and the iPhone 5.
It hasn’t been confirmed as yet whether Apple would be launching two smartphones that day or just one. The iPhone 5 release date has been the most talked about subject in recent months. There is very little known about the upcoming device except that it would feature the dual-core processor and a higher resolution camera. This will provide much improvement in the smartphone’s graphics and processing power.
