Apple is hiring for the possible launch of the iPhone 5 in August

Those from cnet Great Britain discovered on the Internet a job offer published by a famous recruitment agency, which specifies that Apple is looking to hire people for the sales team for iPhone terminals. The job offer specifies that the job will last for more than 2 months between August 16 and October 29, during which the employees will have to work full-time on an "interesting" project that Apple is preparing to launch.

The post, which was sent to us by a tipster, asks for "full-time iPhone Sales Staff for an exciting project to work 5 days a week (Tuesday-Saturday) for the period 16th August - 29th October within key retail stores". The posting appears several times on Reed, with each post covering a different area of ​​the UK.

It sounds as if Apple is looking to bolster its sales staff, and the only reason we can think is that there's a big product launch on the horizon.

The job offer specifies very clearly what exactly Apple needs employees for, but the long period in which the project extends means that a new iPhone model could be launched in that period and not necessarily in August. I don't think that Apple will release the new iPhone in August since iOS 5 is scheduled for release only in the fall, but it would not be excluded to have iPhone 5 available from the first days of September together with the new iOS 5.
