Apple iPhone 5 to be released on September 21?

Apple iPhone 4S

After a tremendous amount of speculation, the Apple iPhone 5 is once again on everybody’s radar and the web is abuzz, this time about its release date. And as per the scoop, it will be unveiled on September 21, 2012.

While some have ventured guesses based on the date of the previous iDevice launch, Cult of Mac has unearthed a rumor via a French blog site pointing to the possibility of the device being revealed towards the end of September. With all the ambiguity, it’s uncertain whether Apple’s latest handset will make it in time for the festive season.

According to the post, the highly awaited smartphone will feature a larger display size with respect to the 4S. It might even most likely replace the 30-pin port with a 19-pin mini connector. In addition, there are claims that the company has informed accessory makers in China regarding the device and its release date.

Over time, a number of reports concerning the handset have flooded the gossip column. Apart from the screen and connector speculations, there are guesses that it could tag along a bigger battery than the one employed in the present iPhone. Fans can even look out for potential highlights like iOS 6 and Apple Maps app along with other features such as 4G network compatibility and nano-SIM card support.

Even if the rumored September 21 mark turns out to be true, it doesn’t seem likely that the company will throw light on the iPhone 5 release date anytime soon. Given the fact that there is uncertainty regarding the authenticity of the news, fans will have to wait a little while longer for official verification.
