Another day, another i5 rumour. We’ll keep this quick but rumour has it iPhone 5 will hit on day 5 of September next.

US carrier AT&T are said to be prepping staff for The Big Launch for that very fitting September 05 date, according to Boy Genius Report.
However, another reputable blog, AllThingsD has cited ‘sources’ indicating October will be the month of i5, contradicting this earlier report.
And as reported recently by Smarthouse, Apple retail stores are on the prowl for temporary iPhone sales staff for an “exciting project” between August 16th-October 29th, so either of these days are possible (September 5th would be a cuter idea though).
The iPhone 5 is said to sport a dual core A5 processor a la iPad 2, 8MP camera and HD display, to name but a few specs.
Hmm, although no one can be certain, BGR is not often wrong and as Apple refuse to confirm either way, iPhoners have just these mere speculations to feed off for now.
This comes as a startling 30% of consumers polled by Price Grabber in the States said they will buy fifth generation smartphone from the Californian whizzes – despite not knowing anything about it.
“Our survey data confirms the strong following Apple has built around its iPhone, with more than one-third of consumers planning to upgrade to the latest model only a little over a year following the release of the iPhone 4,” Graham Jones from PriceGrabber confirmed.
However, top of the wish list for iPhone consumers questioned was a better price and longer battery life. Steve Jobs, take note.
