If this signage is to be believed, French carrier SFR will be offering the iPhone 5 come September 21st. While it’s expected that the next iPhone will go on sale in the U.S. on the 21st, international availability details have remained scarce.
The display is about a SFR contest to win a free iPhone 5 on the network once its available. The picture of the actual device is probably a mockup based on rumors, but this shows that SFR is getting ads together before Apple’s announcement.

Typically the US gets it well before Europe does and given the over hyped “constraint” rumors I can’t see Europe getting it on the same date. But we all know the constraint rumors were BS and Apple marketing at work. So will we get to pre-order tomorrow with shipping mid next week, will it be order this Friday and get it next Friday. Will the ship carrying the iP5 be lost at sea and cause the world to stop spinning. Tune in tomorrow at 10:00am Pacific, 1PM Eastern time.
