The rumors that Apple’s iPhone 5 would be launching on September 21st seem to be right on the money. Verizon has told employees that the time between September 21st and the 30th are off-limits for vacation days. Carrier vacation black outs usually signal the next big release so this definitely fits in with the rumors of the new iPhone launch. AT&T has also put a big black check mark for employees around that same time, theirs however extends farther by also taking away some time in October.

The big question is for anyone who is interested in the new shiny from Apple: are you going to wait in the ridiculous lines at AT&T, Verizon or Sprint or would you rather do your pre-ordering\shopping online and sleep in? I personally would stay away from the madness!
