There have been a number of rumors on when the new iPhone 5 will launch, we are expecting the iPhone 5 to go on sale at the start of October, and are also expecting Apple to announce it some time this month.
Now according to the guys over at Know Your Mobile,
who have received some information from a source at UK mobile operator
O2, the iPhone 5 will launch in the UK on the 21st of October.
This could mean that the worldwide launch date of the iPhone 5 would
be the 21st of October, or it could mean that Apple intends to launch
the iPhone 5 in the US first and then in other markets like the UK
shortly after, this is something they have done in the past with other
iPhone released, although last years iPhone 4 went on sale in the US and the UK at the same time.
