The head of France Telecom (AKA Orange), Stéphane Richard, recently mentioned the upcoming release date of the iPhone 5.

The source of this rumour is an interview with BFM Business, in French, several days back which loosely translates to read: “If I believe what we were told, the iPhone 5 will be released on 15 October and if the date is confirmed it will of course be in France Telecom stores.”

If if, with two if’s in the above statement it is far from a confirmation of the iPhone 5 release date, but it does fit in with the existing dates rumoured for an early / mid October launch.

Keep calm, it won’t be long until you get your hands on a shiny new iPhone 5, or will it just be an iPhone 4s??
