Apple Blocking Off October Vacations for Staff
With Apple supposedly planning an event for next week, it looks like staff are getting refused vacation for certain dates.
We've all heard the rumors about Apple's plans to launch the iPhone 5 in October, and these were recently bolstered by reports that AT&T was rejecting all applications for vacation time during the last two weeks of September "due to an event blackout." Now, there are rumors that Apple is blocking off October vacations for staff.
Apple Insider reports that the Cupertino-based company is rejecting all applications from retail staff seeking vacation time in the second week of October. A source that spoke to the site said that for some locations, the iPhone maker has blacked out vacation time for employees from October 9th through 12th and October 14th through 15th. AI anticipates that the first block, October 9 through 12, is for the release of iOS 5 for existing iOS users. The second block, October 14 - 15, is likely for the new iPhone(s).
Apple is thought to be holding an event at its Cupertino campus on October 4, which is next Tuesday, so we don't have long to wait before we get some answers.

***BREAKING NEWS***
Apple has reportedly stopped their employees from eating jelly donuts in their perspective break rooms. This is reportedly to promote well being within the company so that they may live longer and continue buying subpar, overpriced electronics that get replaced every 8 months. Apple has also talked with many Chineese manufacturers to make more of those electronic ab-crunchers at china standards that will be required to be worn by all employees. No contracts have come from this, but there will most likely be a pattent suit.

Ahhh...so tired of hearing about this.
Ahhh...so tired of hearing about this.
I second that.
News, at a 11, Steve Jobs took a pi$$.
Apple is just annoying now.
There's no reason to be so bitter about articles like this about Apple, it is possible that the new iPhone will be something cool and revolutionary, no matter how unlikely that may seem to you. But you have to allow the curiosity of your inner geek to outweigh your hatred for Apple. Otherwise you just come across as disgruntled and negative. Don't jump to conclusions about it until you've actually seen what it can (or can't) do.
So when is apple going to release something "new"
repackaging the same old shit with a few tweaks shouldn't illicit any excitement at this point. I understand the fanatics being excited for the first 3 ifones, but this is getting ridiculous.
Tom's needs to send Gruener there, he'll be in his element. I can anticipate his next title:
"Opinion: Is iphone 5 the last phone you'll ever need?"
*SNORE*
I guess Tom's is afraid they'll get sued if they dont' run an Apple item each day. Safe for another day!

Its true that there are a handful of premium phones made by other companies and the iPhone is probably now in the lower range of that pack, but it is definitely not subpar. To me subpar equals any Android phone with less then a 1Ghz processor. My Nexus S has had many nice changes that are way better than the G1 but only marginally better than my Nexes One. But I see alot of crappy Android phones walking around.
iphone, iPhone, OOOHHH IPHONE, OHHH MY GOD I LOVE YOU IPHONE!!!
OOOOHYHH MMYYY GOOOOSH I'M CUMMING!!!
...
That's about how exicted the people here at tom's are about the iPhone 5.
Personally I'm about this excited:
get over it, it's a f**king phone
I am interested in seeing what the iPhone 5 will be, the 4 was only a small evolution over the 3gs. If i was to make a guess the 5 will again be a small upgrade on the 4 and won't be revolutionary, it will, however, be sold as revolutionary. The apple sheeple will of course go mad, as if their whole life has been a waste until this point, (that is until next october)

Actually, the new iPhone 5 will have a larger screen and faster processor. The fact that everyone just thinks that this is a 4s, is sadly mistaken.
and the next phone will have a larger screen!
and the next phone released 6 months later will have a larger screen!

and HOLYFREAKINGCRAP the next phone, (iphone9 for those of you who have lost track) will have... you guessed it.. a larger screen!! and omg! a tri-core processor because it needs it with all those little apps going on!

I love it how people have unknowingly supported this guys point when down rating his comment.

What other tom's site are you confusing with this one? The Apple haters outnumber the Apple fanboys by at least 10 to 1 here..
well since rumors are getting more news coverage these days, how about this one: Jobs is returning to formally say his farewell to each and every one of the employees.
LOL
Is Apple serving up payola for Tom's ?
for how long are Apple going to milk the iPhone? iPhone 10, 12? I thought they were "the most innovative technology company", adding 4g support and removing or adding a glass isn't innovative.

Since when did Apple "not" annoying ?

The point i obviously failed to make, was that as you describe a slightly larger screen and a faster processor are both indicators of a a small evolutionary change, not a revolutionary one.

But it is THEE phone! All of us true Apple-olites will shed away our iPhone 4's and our souls will be re-born with the iPhone 5. It will complete us. This is what we must do and it was what the living messiah Jobs wishes of us. The only way to paradise is to constantly clean your soul which Apple products do but they become full of our awful sin and thus we must buy a new.
Praise God, and his own true son Steve Jobs.
I guess they should start installing more nets outside the windows just to be 100% certain there's no way out.
iFarm is better than iJump
Except I have the feeling the dictators in China won't let these people return to farming, after all they are iSlaves.
Yes we already know iPhone5 is coming out on October. A bunch of leaks from carrier plans already revealed this, like the leak from au by KDDI in Japan.
JOBS AKBAR!
