Although the official launch is scheduled for September of this year, it seems that AT&T would be the tests have already started for the new model of the iPhone terminal. From July 6, several prototypes of the iPhone 5 would have been delivered to AT&T testers whose mission is to verify all aspects related to how the new terminal works with the American operator's network. It is perfectly normal for Apple to send such devices for testing before the official launch, but it usually sends them a short time before and those from Verizon had the opportunity to test the iPhone 4 CDMA just 2 weeks before the launch.
Our sources claim that the next generation iPhone is in the hands of beta testers right now. They are running tests, including but not limited to signal reception and connectivity tests. They have been given the pre-release version of the iPhone 5 and as soon as they are done with the testing phase, the final work would be sorted out and Apple would then direct manufacturers to start producing hundreds of thousands of new iPhone 5 units, so that they could be timely shipped to millions of anxious iPhone users, and prospective iPhone owners, around the globe.
If the information is true and AT&T is testing the iPhone 5 from now on, the launch will most likely take place in September, as was already "predicted" by those with sources inside the Apple company.
