iPhone 5 to Launch in New Zealand on October 9th?
New Zealand's TechDay.co.nz claims to have exclusive date on the New Zealand launch date for the iPhone 5.
Now, with fans clamouring for news of the iPhone 5, Techday has learned from a source within Apple that the device will be launched here in New Zealand on October 9.
Early October has been the recent rumor consensus on when the iPhone 5 might actually become available to customers. There has also been talk of a late September launch.
TechDay.co.nz hasn't been the source of any previous Apple rumors, so we can't tell if they are trustworthy. October 9th falls on a Sunday, which seems a strange launch day. Last year's iPhone 4 launch was on a Friday in New Zealand. We've posted it on our iOS blog for interest.
