AT&T has reportedly begun preparing for an early to mid-September iPhone 5 launch, according to BGR.
BGR has exclusively learned that AT&T has begun communicating launch plans internally for Apple's next-generation iPhone 5 handset. We have been told that AT&T has begun informing employees across the company, and those who work in retail locations, to finish any sort of employee training as soon as possible. AT&T is asking managers to finish training in order to have employees available for the influx of foot traffic expected in September, a proven source has shared with us.
Recent reports also have Apple increasing retail staffing in the U.S. and U.K. for the same time period.
I work or o2 UK, all holidays have been removed for september
we have known this for the past month. i would expect US first week/second week, UK 3rd and forth week.
Hope this helps
