An October surprise
Rumors of a September iPhone 5 launch have shifted at the beginning of the month to October, when All Things D's John Paczkowski quoted "sources with knowledge of the situation" saying that the next-generation iPhone would be an October surprise.
Other sources, namely TiPB and 9 to 5 Mac, have now agreed upon an October launch, too (either October 7 or 14), but say preorders could start either September 29 or 30.
New iPhone 5 features
Apple is rumored to be ramping up production of the new iPhone 5, which is widely expected to feature the A5 dual-core processor found inside the iPad 2, and a better camera (possibly 8 megapixels). A photo published by MICGadget claims to have been taken inside an iPhone 5 production facility and allegedly shows the new device featuring an elongated home button to accommodate gestures.
