SheBytes began reporting on the much anticipated iPhone 5 release all the way back in June of 2011 (just check out these iPhone 5 mockups).  Back then, the iPhone 5 rumor mill had been sadly dissapointed by Apple’s release of the iPhone 4S. Now, a year later, we are finally ready for the iPhone 5 release!  And if the media invite above is any indication, it will most definitely be an iPhone 5 that is announced.

Business Blogging Your Company to Success
