It seems that Cupertino giant Apple wants to put the release of its much-rumored iPhone 5 on the back burner, for creating more craze towards this 5^th gen device or due to some indispensable reasons. Now its pre-scheduled roll out date 4^th October has been again set back to 5^th or15th October, thus causing much irritation amidst its worldwide fans.

Albeit, company has already broken its circle to launch its phone each year in June. But, amazingly, more than a quarter has been passed since the expected month, this much-hyped gadget is again and again falling victim to one or another obstacles day by day.

Stéphane Richard, the CEO of France Telecom has indicated the French media, that iPhone 5 is set to break its cover on mid-October. Declining to spill all the beans, he said, “If we believe what we have been told, the iPhone 5 will be released on 15 October.”

But, again this indication seems to be a bit incredible because of 15 October being a Saturday. If we look back the Apple history, it has been striving to release the device on any working day with the desire to see a long queue of professionals standing outside its doors leaving their offices.

But, the report of MailOnline tells some different story. According to it, the Apple’s US stores have been closed for renovation to launch the iPhone 5 on 5th October. Aside from it, the company has told its UK employees not to take holiday in first 2 weeks of October, thus firing up the rumor mill about its landing around this time.

Similarly, the AT&T has also restricted its staff from taking holiday in October, which conforms the release of this device in October.

Let’s hold our horses to see whether the October months get the privilege to view the iPhone 5 breaking its cover or not!
