Apple to Launch New iPhone in October, Not September?

AllThingsD is firmly stating that the iPhone 5 will launch in October and not September as previously predicted.

So those rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will debut in late September? They're wrong. Instead, it's going to be an October surprise - the month in which Apple plans to launch its next-gen iPhone.
