Apple will unveil the iPhone 5 at a media event on October 4, according to AllThingsD, which attributes the information to “sources close to the situation.” The story says the phone is likely to be available for purchase within a few weeks of the event.
Also noteworthy: the event is likely to be the first big product launch for new CEO Tim Cook; expect plenty of speculation, though, on a cameo appearance by chairman and co-founder Steve Jobs.
