Apple will reportedly hold its iPhone 5 press conference on October 5th, according to a PocketGamer source.
Our inside source says there will be a press conference announcing the new hardware on October 5th, with retail release occurring a week later. This broadly fits with the movement of recent rumours, which peaked with a - since proven erroneous - 21st October release date, bought forward to a October 15th date, according to Orange CEO Stephane Richard.
The symbolism works well too: iPhone 5, iOS 5, October 5.
The currently rumored iPhone 5 release dates have been October 7th, 14th, and 15th.
