iPhone 5 Release Date UK

Following the official revealing of iPhone 5, Apple confirmed that their latest smartphone will land on the markets later this month, with a September 21st release date added to the list.

With co-ordination to past launches, the company mentioned that its latest flagship smartphone will hit retailers just 9 days after its formal unveiling, with the confirmed September 21st iPhone 5 release date being drawn in just two days after iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPad owners are given the opportunity to download the new iOS 6 update.

The iPhone 5 is set to launch in the UK and US at the same time, and most widely figured, date in the year’s tech calendar. The device is releasing just months after Samsung’s successful Galaxy S3. Analyst reports and recent rumors have suggested that sales of the latest smartphone could see the company shift as many as 10 million of the handsets in its opening week on sale.
