The iPhone 5 may launch in the second half of August, reports CNET.UK. The website bases it's conclusion on posts on U.K based employment website, Reed.
Apparently, Apple sources a good number of its sales staff from this website. The website has posted a need for iPhone sales personnel between 16 and 29 of August which might indicate an impending iPhone launch.
Previously, Apple has always launched a new iPhone at its World Wide Developers conference (barring the original one) but this year a new phone was conspicuous by it's absence. Industry insidersbelieve the iPhone 5 launch was delayed because of production issues after the Japan earthquake and the fire at their Fox-conn manufacturing unit.
