Apple has finally scheduled their special event for September 12th and the most anticipated product release in history is upon us the iPhone 5! In addition to the release of the new iPhone, the iOS 6 release date will be September 12th as well. We have known about iOS 6 since since it was announced at WWDC, but it has only been available for developers. The iOS 6 release date is expected to be on September 12th, however, since the iPhone 5 will not be in stores until September 21st, you will most likely have to wait until then to download it. However, Apple has yet to confirm this. We will be providing downloading instructions as soon as iOS 6 is released. Stay tuned!
