Report: iPhone 5 event on October 4th


John Paczkowski at AllThingsD/WSJ is reporting Wednesday that Apple will hold an announcement event on October 4th. No official announcement has been made yet. The site reports this will be for the iPhone 5, which they expect to launch in October.

That's the day Apple is currently expected to hold its next big media event, according to sources close to the situation, where the tech giant will unveil the next iteration of its popular iPhone.
While there have been a lot of conflicting reports about the exact timing of the event, including some that pegged it as taking place this month, AllThingsD had previously posted that the rollout of the iPhone 5 would be in October.


AllThingD also reports CEO Tim Cook will be running the show, the first since Jobs recently stepped down as CEO.

That's pretty much all the details provides, other than background on presenter drama.
