Orange Confirmed: Apple iPhone 5 to go on sale on October 15th

We can imagine Apple wo not be particularly happy about that, but the CEO of Orange might have just spilled the beans on the availability of the iPhone 5. He said that if he believes what he hears, the next iPhone will be out by 15th October on his network.

Since CEOs of major carriers like Orange rarely get their information from anywhere else, but the manufacturer itself, this one seems rather trust-worthy. Stephane Richard also went on to say that they will be special packages on offer for the iPhone 5, but thats hardly a surprise, considering the importance of the smartphone to carriers.

Earlier today, we also heard an interesting rumor about the availability of the iPhone 5 in the UK. This information, however, comes from O2 customer service center so its a bit harder to believe. And there is little sense in Apple releasing the smartphone in France, before they bring it to UK, so its unlikely that both of those are true at the same time.
