Apple iPhone 5 Goes Up For Pre-Order 1 Month Before The 4S Did Back In 2011 [RUMOR]

If you have plans to purchase an iPhone we would suggest holding off for another 26 days. According to the folks over at iMore, the iPhone 5 will purportedly launch on September 12 and be made available for order on the same day.

iPhone 5 pre-orders may open as early as September 12

Now this would make it a whole month ahead of the iPhone 4S from last year which we saw go up for pre-order in October 2011. The possible reason for this could be the growing threat from Android and its highly popular Samsung Galaxy S3 which has quickly become the most pre-ordered Android handset to date.

The iPhone 5 of course will be the 6th generation model of the iPhone and rumors suggest a larger display, smaller dock connector, 4G LTE connectivity and a slightly larger battery.

If rumors hold true, buyers may be able to get their hands on the iPhone 5 by the end of September, with the global release date pegged for sometime early October.
