Here’s a nice little find over this past weekend. Apple’s Back to School promo is set to end precisely on the date the iPhone 5 is rumored to come out.

We’re not talking about the big announcement, but about the physical availability of the phone.

September 21 is said to be the day customers will be able to grab the next-generation iPhone, following a ceremonious unveiling on September 12. Apple’s Back to School promo ends exactly on September 21, 9to5mac points out.

The latest leaks indicate that the phone will, indeed, be taller than the current-generation hardware. With a bigger screen and a new (unibody) chassis, Apple will undoubtedly continue to batter rivals in what promises to be another record holiday quarter for 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California.
