A Deutsche Telekom spokersperson has informed Bloomberg that the German mobile operator intends to start distributing iPhone 5 reservation coupons from today. This is in anticipation of supply bottlenecks, which is to say that DT isnt confident therell be enough iPhone 5 units to go around when the next-gen device launches. Current customers of the carrier in Germany can lay claim to a reservation by calling up and explicitly requesting the iPhone 4′s successor, though they shouldnt hope for any information about what it might look and feel like no release date, pricing or naming details are being provided. For all we know, Deutsche Telekom could well be operating on the basis of the same rumors, speculation and half-truths that we are. So, to be clear, this isnt the first iPhone 5 pre-order; its just a ticket to get in line in the event such a device as an iPhone 5 is ever (like, say, in October) announced and sold by Apple.
