Report: Shipping Crews Staffing Up for Sept. 21 iPhone 5 Launch

The iPhone 5 puzzle pieces are finally starting to fall into place, and it looks as though the finished picture will look pretty close to what we’ve expected. Today’s tidbit: the phone’s launch date. Apple has already sent out event invites sporting a suspicious-looking shadow for September 12th, which will very likely be the day the iPhone 5 is unveiled to the world. But when will the finished product actually end up in our hands?

Apple fanatics might want to clear their schedule on September 21st. GottaBeMobile spoke to “a trusted source familiar with Apple’s iPhone shipping plans” who claims that shippers are staffing up for that day in anticipation of the first major wave of iPhone preorder fulfillments.

The website claims that cellular carriers and retail stores will also start selling the iPhone on that day, which is backed by earlier reports that both AT&T and Verizon have scheduled vacation blackouts on the 21st. T-Mobile, however, looks as though it won’t be hopping on the Apple bandwagon this time around, either.

Rumors peg the iPhone 5 as having a 4-inch 16:9 display, 4G LTE and NFC functionality, a unibody Liquidmetal design and a shrunk-down dock connector, along with iOS 6.
