AT&T vacation blackout confirms September 21st launch for next Apple iPhone

Alleged parts for the Apple iPhone 5

Last week, Verizon Wireless blacked out vacation dates for all of its employees from September 21st through September 30th adding to speculation that the 6th generation of the Apple iPhone will launch on September 21st. Now, AT&T has also blacked out vacation dates for its employees from September 21st to September 30th. In the past, vacation blackout dates were a good indication of when to expect the launch of the device. The Apple iPhone 5, as the phone is expected to be called, is penciled in for a September 12th introduction and pre-orders are expected to start the same day.

According to a source for Tech Crunch, AT&T employees are currently undergoing training for an "iconic release." The Apple iPhone 5 will supposedly come to market with a 4 inch display, up from the current 3.5 inch screen, in order to match larger Android devices. The screen will use new in-cell technology which allows for a thinner display and have a uni-body design.
