A bevy of new information points to early September as the release date for Apple's next generation iPhone. AT&T stores are telling managers to wrap up employee training in anticipation of an increase in customers this September. The report, filed by BGR claims AT&T has begun to communicate "launch plans" to its stores regarding the iPhone 5.
Similarly, Apple stores in the UK and US have been beefing up staff and asking former employees to return. The program is typically invoked for holidays, back-to-school sales and new product launches, according to MacRumors.
The early September time frame does correspond to school starting up for students, however Apple offers discounts to college students and qualified educators year-round. Evidence of the impending iPhone 5 launch was cited by ZDNet, including earnings call sound bites from Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer. He stated, "We also have a future product transition that we are not good to talk about today, and these things will impact our September quarter."
In any case, this is not the first time we've heard that Apple is planning a September iPhone 5 launch. Design changes, competition for component parts from suppliers, and struggling to keep up with iPad 2 demand have moved Apple off of the annual iPhone launch cycle that industry watchers have become accustomed to seeing each summer. If case design leaks can be confirmed, it seems Apple will deliver a few surprises with the next generation iPhone when it finally hits this fall.

According to Mac Rumors , the September launch sits well within the current scheme of things - "with no iPhone release during this year's WWDC, Apple is expected to include the iPhone launch at this September event alongside the public release of iOS 5.
Even though we have been constantly bombarded with iPhone 5news stories in the past months, no one still knows what to expect from Apple's next offering. While some claim to see a significant overhaul, others are pointing towards a more "bumped up specs sheet".
Earlier yesterday we reported on the iPhone 5 leaked cases . While there is uncertainty over the legitimacy of the images, the cases offer some design clues. The case revealed the smartphone to be a thinner version of the iPhone 4 and feature rounded 3GS-like back panel. There is also a indication of a 3.7-inch edge-to-edge screen, support for gesture-based controls and a larger home button.
We had also heard via a Chinese publication earlier that iPhone 5 will be NFC enabled and sport a 8 mega-pixel camera.
