Whether it’s a reality or simply another example of the fast-turning iPhone 5 rumor mill, it’s news either way: Sprint will be getting the iPhone 5 in October according to WSJ.
The nations’ third-largest wireless service provider would be the third to receive the iPhone after Apple launched with AT&T in 2007 and brought in Verizon this year. It may also be enough to save the company from being crushed under the weight of Verizon and an AT&T/T-Mobile merger.
This poses a new question for current and future iPhone fans with AT&T and Verizon going to tiered pricing. If Sprint holds true to their current data pricing model, they may be an iPhone carrier to reckon with in a data-heavy tech world.
The report gives a certain level of bad news for Apple – October numbers will not be included in 4th fiscal quarter earnings. Getting it right is more important to the company that has more cash than the US government.

Well written article.I appreciate your writing skills.Its great.Hope so this spring iPhone is really great.You have done a great job by sharing this post with us.I like this post.Keep sharing with us.
Not to shabby for those 30 million or so Sprint customers. But really, I think they were only predicting something like 6 million new iPhones for Sprint. Unlimited data will definitely get some new users to add the iPhone to their shopping carts though.
