iPhone 5 to launch late 2012 [Rumour]

The iPhone 5 is launching in the Northern hemisphere’s autumn according to an “Asian reliable source”. The website can be added to the long list of rumour sites which fuel fans’ fires, but the leak does at least follow the pattern of Apple’s new launch cycle it began with the iPhone 4S.

Some point the change in release schedule to the iPhone 4S. Is Apple willing to risk a launch a mere eight months after its last iPhone?
