Out of the Blue

The weirdest thing from my visit to Verizon yesterday for a new cell modem was that the seemingly knowledgeable sales associate there was talking about the official iPhone 5 announcement that I missed. No need to run to Google this, as you are correct that there has still been no such announcement, but he certainly was convinced. I thought it was odd that he would make such an error that might discourage people from buying a current iPhone, but then I realized from my own experience that I would never expect the word of a game store employee on future game release plans to be accurate, so I'm not sure why I was surprised that this would also be the reality at a cell phone kiosk.
