iOS 5 and iPhone 5

A new tip received from a source connected to Apple's AppleCare service has indicated iOS 5 may be launching on October 10th. This would be right on time with what tips from carriers and other sources have been hinting at for the new iPhone release. The last few iOS and iPhone releases have followed a trend. The iOS has been released a few days before the new device, probably to spread out the customer service demand. Taking this fact into account, and assuming this tip is credible, that would place the iPhone 5 launch later that week on October 14th. This release date coincides with speculations that iPhone 5 production has been ramped up in the last few weeks, and also reports of cell phone companies receiving the phone readying their staff for a "big release." Personally, I can't stand to wait much longer for the new phone to come out. I've been waiting and wanting a new phone for months (at one point I almost bought an iPhone 4 to have until the new phone came out).
