BGR obtained the following internal memo from Best Buy indicating that the iPhone 5 will launch with Sprint availability and that pre-sales will begin during the first week of October. At this point we have no way of knowing if this memo is conveying confidential information or is merely a reflection of some of the iPhone rumors floating around which point to an iPhone 5 release on October 7 preceded by pre-sales opening up on September 30.
A few weeks back, an AT&T executive reportedly told a group of managers to prepare for a busy October due to the iPhone 5 launch. In addition to Sprint, the iPhone 5 will reportedly launch on T-Mobile as well this Fall, finally putting the iPhone on every major carrier in the US after years of AT&T exclusivity.
