“Apple is gearing up for a slightly earlier than previously expected iPhone 5 launch,” Jon Jordan reports for PocketGamer.
“Our inside source says there will be a press conference announcing the new hardware on October 5th, with retail release occurring a week later,” Jordan reports.
Jordan reports, “The symbolism works well too: iPhone 5, iOS 5, October 5.”

Press conference? Does that mean no Steve?
CEO Tim Cook
no Steve means no magic in the air.
May 5 (5/5) would have been even better in terms of the 5 theme. But who wants to wait 7 more months?
IOS 5… I0.5.11
Still pretty good…
True but 10/2 does equal 5!
IOS 5… IO.5
Pretty close!
Google will anounce their new phone on 3.14.16. 😉
No shit. That’s an iteration of pi.
Hard choise, they release the new android at the same time with windows 8!
I expect Steve Jobs to give the Apple iOS 5, iPhone 5 announcement. Regardless that he is no longer CEO, he still works for Apple. Tim Cook prob will let him one last time. I don’t see why
I see why: Steve Jobs has severe health problems – unfortunately.
Ok, I’m standing in line already. Anyone interested in an iPhone 4?
what’s up with the ads with sound?!?! LAME
nice to see my comment about using AdBlock to stop the ads was erased by MDN…
Ads are one thing, Ads that annoy the hell out of the viewer at every turn.. is the reason Adblock & etc are created.
Other sources have been saying the 7th for the past 2 months.
i hope they at least FaceTime steve during the event! Would love to see his smile on the big screen, looking at everyone!
