iPhone 5 rumor rollup for the week ending Aug. 26

26.08.2011
As closes in on the East Coast, iOSsphere rumors of 5 ticked up slightly to Category 2. Fueled by hot air, rumors broke out about iPhone 5 sales starting in October, a new battery design and audio jack flex cable, new carriers, Steve Jobs' cunning PR plot, and much less.

You read it here second.

"A dubious source from a no-name site -- but it makes sense!" -- Gizmodo, covering without a trace of irony a rumor that iPhone 5 is coming to T-Mobile

iPhone 5 will go on sale in October, at least at AT&T.

Citing "one of our high-level AT&T sources," that an "AT&T Vice President has confirmed to several employees that the iPhone 5 is slated to launch in early October."

In the iOSsphere, "launch" is used interchangeably to mean "announcing a new product" and "making a new product available for purchase." Geller here means the latter.
