Several users have written in to draw our attention to the rumor over at the
iMore blog that the new iPhone 5
should be released on September 21, after being introduced at a public event on September 12. "Unlike last year, when some 16 months separated the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4, a September 21 schedule would put the iPhone 5 launch at just over 11 months after the iPhone 4S," notes the blog. A new iPad mini and a new iPod Nano are also expected to be unveiled at the event. This release of the iPhone is notable for the fact the iPhone will finally support LTE networks, though it's currently unclear if the phone will be available on AT&T, Verizon
and Sprint.
