Although we recently reported that the iPhone 5 may be coming on September 7th, The Loop’s well connected Jim Dalrymple says that ain’t happening.

According to my sources, Apple will not have an event or launch the next iPhone on September 7. It’s hard to say how that specific date was chosen by the sites that started the rumor, other than it fits into the timeline of previous Apple events.

Jim has a proven track record so its safe to say that he’s most likely right.

The iPhone 5 will likely have redesigned hardware and has been confirmed to be on track for a September shipment from China. Another report also claims that it will be on sale starting early October.

The iPad 3 would be a perfect “one more thing” announcement and is rumored to be packed with a Retina Display.
