#iphone 5 release date

The first batch of iPhone 5 will be released in 9 countries today. As for Smart and Globe, inside sources told us the official release of the iPhone 5 might come it around November which is 11 months from the official release of the iPhon 4S in December last year. Apple did not mention the Philippines in its initial release date. Are we expecting the iPhone 5 to be released by Smart and Globe this December, just like last year?
