Everyday there are several reports claiming the official launch period of the dominant smartphone.

I'm an att employee and my boss just announced that vacation requests for the end of september will be denied due to an "event blackout". Historically the only time they've done this was for an iphone release. So we're looking at the last two weeks of september.

Well in one way or another it is most likely to be the case as today we saw Radioshack slacking the prices of previous iPhones and it could be very well due to the fact that Apple is planning to launch the next generation iPhone 5.

Previously 9to5 Mac reported an iPhone 5 being tested in a subway by most likely an Apple employee who was on his way back home from San Francisco and as we reported earlier, China Times claims that iPhone 5 will launch in September so it is very likely that we are about to witness a mega event.

Will it really be September? Will the redesigned iPhone 5 with A5 Processor hit the shelves as expected? We’ll keep you updated as the saga continues.
