iPhone 5 rumors are flying.  ”New, real, leaked” pictures are surfacing every day in anticipation of the iPhone 5 release date.

Another one of those pictures is here BUT it’s not of the highly anticipated new iPhone 5.

Mashable has released this picture courtesy of BGR:

BGR has updated the story to say that iPhone 5 pre-orders will start this week:

“……possible presales will be starting this week with the phone arriving in the first week of October, not preorders starting in October.”

Aside from the news of the release and pre-order dates, the other breaking news is that the iPhone 5 will be available on Sprint.

Is this another “new, real, leaked” picture?  Possibly.

Maybe Apple is looking to bring some life back to their stock that recently dipped when Steve Jobs “quit.”  Maybe Apple realizes thatback-to-school shopping is done at places like Bestbuy, which would be great time to start taking pre-orders.

Then again, I don’t work for Apple, Bestbuy or Sprint, so what do I know?

I know that this Apple’s 5th edition of the iPhone with possibly the 3rd new carrier AND it’s still the hottest rumor since Brad and Jen broke up.

What do you think?  True?  Another rumor?  Let me know below and keep your eyes on Bestbuy……
