The CEO of France Telecom, parent company of Orange, has given a pretty clear indication that the iPhone 5 will be launching in mid-October, going as far as giving an actual release date.
Speaking to French media, the pretty chatty Stephan Richard (who, lest we forget, is quite happy to wax lyrical on Apple’s plans), said that his network had heard word of Apple’s iPhone 5 coming soon:
“If we believe what we have been told, the iPhone 5 will be released on 15 October,” said the CEO, declining to give further details on who or why had told him that.
The CEO was speaking at a BFM Business conference, but decided to chat about Apple’s most secret device ahead of the launch, also confirming the network will have ‘special tariffs’… which is hardly a surprise for the iPhone.
What is more curious is that date lands on a Saturday – once again making it look like we’ve got misinformation over the iPhone 5 release date, as Apple prefers making everyone skive off work to go and queue up outside its doors to be among the first to get the new device.
If 15 October is the correct release date, then it can’t be too long before Apple finally calls that press conference and announces it to the world – here’s hoping it’s sooner rather than later, as we can’t take this speculation much longer.
