Apple Inc.’s new CEO Tim Cook is reportedly set to launch the new iPhone 5 on Oct. 4 and it will start selling within weeks. 

All Things Digital cited unnamed sources in a report on Wednesday that said that the company could change the date but the plan now is to do the iPhone 5 debut on the first Tuesday of October. 

It will be the first lengthy public look at Cook since he took over from the ailing Steve Jobs, who remains as Apple’s chairman.

The report makes no mention of the rumored iPhone 4S, which some have said will be a less expensive version of Apple’s wildly popular device. 

A report by Fortune and CNN Money on Monday posted part of a report by JPMorgan Chase    technology analyst Mark Moskowitz, who said Apple is planning to release both an all-new iPhone 5, as well as a new and improved version of the current iPhone 4. 

Reports have speculated for months that Apple would release an iPhone 5 and a new iPad 3 this fall, and even said that the new iPhone would be available on the Sprint Nextel Corp.    network. For its part, Sprint issued a memo to workers last month telling them not to talk about the rumors of a potential iPhone being sold by the telecom company this fall. 

The smartphone segment is rapidly growing among business executives, with a survey conducted by The Business Journals earlier this year revealing that small and midsize business owners are more connected than ever to technology, significantly boosting the time spent on the Internet, their use of social networks, and their adoption of new tech tools.
