I don't think that's true. It might have been what they said, but it's February now and we haven't seen any glimpses of iPhone 5 (or whatever) from the FCC, and I'd be willing to bet it launches less than six months from now.

"Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007 at Macworld 2007. Apple was required to file for operating permits with the FCC, but since such filings are made available to the public, the announcement came months before the iPhone had received approval."

I remember hearing this story at the time, as well.

For all we know, the rules could be different for iPhone 5, since it is an update of an existing product, rather than a new one.

Given we've already had a few different iPhones, if the rules are different shouldn't we know already?
