The onslaught of every iPhone 5 (or iPhone 4G or 4GS, whatever you choose to call it) rumor that we have heard is surely so large in itself that we could dedicate a whole post on it. However, this particular rumor seems well founded in its source and history, and looks pretty legit to us.
An AT&T employee was responsible for leaking this particular piece of info to Gizmodo. According to the leak, all AT&T employees have been denied any vacations during the last two weeks of September “due to an event blackout”. So what the hell does that have to do with the launch of the next iPhone, we hear you ask. Well, according to the employee, the only times when this kind of thing has happened in the past is when a new iPhone has been released! Aah, slowly the pieces begin to fall in place.
There are plenty of reasons we think this is legit. Firstly, if the employee is telling the truth, then the history is a perfect indicator of things to come. Secondly and more importantly, since Apple focused on the software front in its last major event, the WWDC 2011, September will be the perfect time to refresh the world’s minds with the launch of the next iPhone, and who knows, possibly the next iPad too.
Either ways, I can’t help but wondering that if the period of every new iPhone launch is accorded the title of “event blackout” down at AT&T, what will the launch of other smartphones be known as! If you have got any creative suggestions, don’t be afraid to let ‘em rip in the comments section!
