iPhone 5 Launch Confirmed by Apple for October 4

After months, if not years of rumours and speculation, Apple finally appears to have set a date to reveal the iPhone 5 to the world.

Widely expected to also reveal a cheaper iPhone 4S model at the event, Apple has chosen to break with recent tradition by holding the "Let's talk iPhone" event at its Cupertino headquarters in California. New CEO Tim Cook will be at the reins of the presentation, beginning at 10am PT, which is also rumoured to involve to involve some special guests. While we hope that means a group of Samsung lawyers will be invited onstage to immediately hurl accusations at the new design, we have as yet heard no rumours to suggest this.

Sources at AllThingsD have suggested the new iPhone 5 will go on sale "within a few weeks" of the unveiling announcement, meaning US punters may get their mitts on the new device mid to late October. The UK will likely land its shipment of glassy slabs around a month later in November.

Some of the more likely features we could expect to see to the iPhone 5 include an 8MP camera, an aluminium case back, an expanded screen size and 1GB RAM. Wilder suggestions include finger print scanning, NFC payments technology, 4G connectivity and a (pfff) slide-out keyboard, but a dual core A5 chip like the one in the iPad 2 should also work its way into the new iPhone.

The final version of Apple's iOS 5 should also be revealed at the same event, replacing the limited beta version released to developers in the summer.

Flip-out keyboard?

That would make an iPhone, well... not seem like an iPhone! I might just get the 4S if that's the case. Why would they not stay true to what put these the map? Am I wrong? These have always sucked with past designs from other manufacturers. Just sayin'.
