AT&T's Vacation Blackout Pinned Down to September 21-30 for iPhone Launch
Two weeks ago, BGR reported that AT&T was planning for a launch of the next-generation iPhone in late September, instituting an "all-hands-on-deck policy" for the last two weeks of the month and into October.
That news was followed last week with word that Verizon had instituted its own vacation blackout for September 21-30, bolstering claims that the new iPhone will launch in the United States on Friday, September 21.
TechCrunch now reports that AT&T's vacation blackout period has been pinned down to the same September 21-30 timeframe seen at Verizon. According to the report, AT&T staff will be training up for an "iconic release" scheduled for that time, with all indications pointing to the next-generation iPhone as the device in question.
Apple is reportedly also preparing to launch its "iPad mini" in the coming months, but the company is said to be planning a separate media event for October to introduce that product.

According to an AT&T sales rep, AT&T staff has been given a vacation blackout from September 21 to September 30, just like Verizon employees. Our source also mentioned that blue carrier employees are undergoing training for an “iconic release.”Apple is expected to introduce the next iPhone with a media event on September 12, with availability in the United States apparently set for nine days later. Several other major countries are likely to see a launch on that same date, with other markets following quickly in subsequent weeks.
Sounds like the next-gen iPhone to me.

It seems reasonable to assume this blackout is due to the impending iPhone 5 launch.

The sad part is we kind of know what to expect. I really hope Apple pulls something off that we aren't expecting.

Anybody else hate that we already know everything about Apple launches before they even happen?

Reading up on AT&T recently, why would anyone buy their iPhone from them?
You can buy one from the Apple store and have a nice friendly chat, or from an AT&T store with their apparently pushy store employees.
