One more thing: Apple's next event is scheduled for October 4th
October 4th, 2011. That’s the date for the next Apple press event featuring the new man-in-charge Tim Cook, at least according to the infamous “sources close to the situation” quoted by AllThingsD. Hold your breaths - if true, this must finally be it for the iPhone 5. Rumors have generally been split between a September and October launch, but with this last news, it seems that Apple has finally chosen October for the iPhone announcement. The iPhone 5 will reportedly be available for purchase within a few weeks after the unveiling.

Don’t take this as 100% certain - after all, Apple hasn’t yet announced anything and that means that matters are subject to change. But it’s very likely that October 4th will be the final date.

The launch will also put Tim Cook to the test for the first time as the official Apple CEO. We’re curious whether the new chief executive will also use the signature Steve Jobs “One more thing” phrase before lifting the cover off the iPhone 5. So far, Apple has continued its galloping growth with its shares closing at an all-time high above $410 and all suggestions that Cupertino will start sliding once Jobs steps out have been put to rest.

At the event, we expect Cook to make the big announcements, but the rest of the Apple crew is also probably going to appear on stage with iOS head Scott Forstall and Eddy Cue, the usual suspects. It’s less than two weeks until that Tuesday, so mark it all in red in your calendars and stay tuned.

i sure hope it doesnt take "a few weeks" for them to hit the shelves. i'd guess under a week (maybe two)

It's a shame, later than I expected. Why is Apple doing these rare things this year? I don't understand. We should have the iPhone 5 already in our hands!!

7. krysis posted on 21 Sep 2011, 06:42 1 2

why? because the iphone 4 is still selling like hotcakes. milk it while you can. they still sell for 400 on craigslist easily

9. SpanishDeveloper posted on 21 Sep 2011, 06:57 5

Yeah, I Know but that situation won't remain equal forever. Apple can lose its first position on the market if they continue acting this way.

The iPhone 4 is a good smartphone but it has passed from being a high-tech phone to a mid-range phone.

What first position on the market? On what market? The US one? On what planet do you live?

iPhone: 28% Android: 40+%.

Nuff said.

but when you take into account that apple takes all the profits for IOS sales while the android sales are split my samsung, motorola, htc (among others) apple gets a SUBSTANTIALLY larger profit than the rest of them

Yeah.. so? I have a hard disk which is 250GB large - which is larger than any CD\DVD I own in terms of capacity. But I also have about 500 DVDs\CDs.

See the point?

Even though your figures are more or less right, Apple is the wealthiest corporation and they sell more devices (phones, tables and MP4 players) than any other company. That's what I was refering to.

First in smartphone sales and profit.

So... iphone is only on 2 networks.. android is on all networks and some are really really cheap and outdated like metro... unless u wanna buy a phone without contract with all your requirement needs...

We havent sold hardly any iphone 4s in the shop i work in for months now,due mainly to customers asking for galaxy s2's or other top androids or also of them saying they've all heard from friends with iphones that they are terrible for reception and dropping calls among other faults. Staff are delight as comeback complaints of dropped calls,broken screens,phone asking to be 'restored' continually are massively down!!!

Am sure apple cares...apple would want people asking for iPhones instead of other phones...
