Rumour: AT&T vice president tells employees to expect iPhone 5 in early October

We've had more iPhone 5 rumours than we've had hot dinners here at Pocket Gamer Towers, and we've just been served a new one.

Boy Genius Report has heard from a high-level AT&T source that one of the carrier's vice presidents has informed several employees that the iPhone 5 will drop in early October.

Furthermore, the VP is said to have told a group of managers to, “Expect things to get really, really busy in the next 35-50 days, so prepare your teams accordingly.”

Recent rumours have pointed towards a September release for the mythical device, though it's possible we'll simply see a September announcement and an October launch.

As always, we'll remind you that we don't know anything for sure until it comes from Apple's mouth.

However, we will keep you updated.
