AT&T Rep Says Next iPhone Out In October?

I am not sure how AT&T would feel about their rep giving out information like how the next iPhone will be out in October. If it turns out to be true it was probably information the rep wasn’t supposed to be revealing in the first place, and if it turns out to be false then that would just make AT&T look bad.

According to what the AT&T rep had said online, the AT&T customer service rep said, “Actually I just got back from a cooperate [sic] meeting discussing the new iPhone 5. They said it won’t be put in stores till October now due to the White iPhone 4. Apple wants as many sales as possible.”

This does seem to corroborate the speculations that the next iPhone will be announced come August or September, which would make it available in October, but since to be making such a bold and definite claim like that does not seem to be in line with Apple’s typical tight-lipped policy and by making such statements might affect the relationship between AT&T and Apple, who until recently this year were the exclusive carriers of the iPhone.
