iPhone 5: rumours become clearer for 4 October

New information unveiled by a specialist US site predicts that the iPhone 5 will be presented on 4 October in San Francisco.

For once, the new version of the iPhone, the 5th in the series, is stirring up rumours and speculation. There is now talk of an official presentation on 4 October, according to information relayed by the blog AllThingsd.com, a branch of the Wall Street Journal dedicated to new technologies. The American site cites "sources close to the matter", according to whom Apple's latest product would be presented at a press conference, which would launch the presidency of Tim Cook, successor to Steve Jobs, with great fanfare. Such a scenario would confirm the information distilled recently by the CEO of Orange, according to which the iPhone 5 would be available before mid-October.
