Although Apple’s long mooted next-generation smartphone has still to be officially announced a leaked screenshot of a launch strategy has suggested an iPhone 5 release date of October 21st is likely.

The release strategy, which comes from retailer Best Buy in the US, has added to the ever growing run of iPhone 5 rumours indicating that an iPhone 5 release date isn’t expected for a little under two months.

Detailed as simply an “Apple fixture” the leaked plans are believe to refer to the installation of in-store signage in preparation of the next Apple handset which is expected to land with an 8-megapixel camera, dual-core processor and a new slimmer form factor.

The seemingly endless iPhone 5 rumour mill has repeatedly suggested an October release for the iOS 5 is a possibility with recent reports suggesting the pocket blower has entered production whilst one German retailer has opened up iPhone 5 pre-orders to eager customers.
