Report: iPhone to be released on September 21st Sources are reporting today that Verizon has blacked out September 21st through September 30th, meaning all staff is banned from taking vacations those days.
Carriers and major retailers normally have blackouts when there are major product releases, suggesting the new iPhone will likely be released on September 21st.

The phone is expected to be unveiled on September 12th, during Apple's annual event.

Apple announced the iPhone 4S last year on October 4th, and went on sale on the 14th.

Although the phone itself is not confirmed, leaked hardware suggests the device will have a longer 4-inch screen, a quad-core processor, a new dock connector, a larger camera and a potentially thinner frame.
