By now you’ve all seen the rumors of Apple’s October 4th media event. Historically Apple’s newest gizmos would be available 3-4 weeks after the media launch. However, the iPad2 began shipping about two weeks after the media launch and it was my belief that Apple is shortening the window between announcement and availability. Today, AppleInsider is reporting Apple is denying staff holiday requests for 9-15 October which is consistent with an iPhone5 launch on the weekend of October 14th.
