Quoting a “high-level AT&T source”, BGR is reporting that AT&T Vice President has unofficially confirmed that the iPhone 5 is slated for an early October Launch, informing managers that they should:

“Expect things to get really, really busy in the next 35-50 days, so prepare your teams accordingly.”

While widely rumored for a September launch for most of this year, more recent rumors have seemed to point to a late September Apple press event followed by an early October product launch.
