iPhone 5 less than a month away
Apple event hints at handset
Apple fanbois and those sick of the constant updates will be pleased to know the Cupertino company is likely to end the perennial iPhone 5 speculation at its annual media event in less than a month.
According to Japanese site Kodawarisan, Apple's event is set for 7 September and while it is traditionally used to launch refreshed iPods – as it did last year – reports suggest a next-gen iPhone reveal is on the cards instead.
Attention has moved away from the iPod range anyway, with Apple even removing the iPod branding from iOS 5's music app, therefore an entire event dedicated to personal music players seems rather unlikely.
The news contradicts recent reports that we'd have to wait until October for the iPhone 5's release. Then again, the amount of conflicting rumours beggars belief.
Either way, I'm sure we'll hear more as the event draws closer. The iPhone 5 has had enough hype already – it's about time the bloody thing was unveiled officially. Even shops in China are selling fake versions already. ®

If you don't buy the new iPhone...
...there is a better than 50% chance Apple will sue you. They are suing everyone else.
Well...
...you must have some vague, passing interest in the whole bruhaha, as you spent valuable time skimming the article and entering a comment!
Everything's worse
You could publish a fake review now, then we could all vent our spleen about how it's a backward step, not as good as the 3G, etc. I hear that the r.f. reception will be worse (I made that bit up - see how easy it is).
I'd feel better getting it all out of my system now, rather that when the kids are back at school and the stress levels of the school run, homework, sports kit, etc coupled with a new iPhone review could just kill me. Does it come with a defibrillator app?
oh god no
I had just mastered holding the iphone 4 correctly
Oh Good, I can't wait
That means more Youtube videos to laugh at of hundreds of lemmings standing in a queue being cheered on by a bunch of clapping seals.... they always make me smile.
