The expected iPhone 5 launch next month will not only tax the resources of Apple but its carrier partners as well. According to new report from TechCrunch, vacation blackouts imposed by Verizon Wireless are in line with rumors about a Sept. 21 iPhone 5 launch.
Citing a trusted Verizon employee, TechCrunch said Verizon employees are banned from taking vacation time between Sept. 21 and Sept. 30.
Last week, meanwhile, BGR said an AT&T training event was moved to the first week in October so it wouldn't conflict with a "huge announcement."
Those reports are in line with rumors that Apple will hold a press event on Sept. 12 to unveil the next-gen iPhone (and possibly an iPad mini), and launch the device on Sept. 21.
Apple has not made any announcements. The iPhone 4S made its debut during an Oct. 4 press event and hit stores on Oct. 14.
The iPhone 5, meanwhile, is expected to include a larger, 4-inch screen and 4G LTE connectivity, among other things. For more, see PCMag's iPhone 5 rumor roundup slideshow below.
Update: A Verizon Wireless spokeswoman pointed PCMag to a Techno Buffalo story that said a Verizon worker denied reports of a Sept. 21 vacation blackout.
