Sprint to get an iPhone 5? Why not?

August 24th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

It is being reported that Sprint will be selling the newest Apple iphone in mid October which would give Sprit the number three spot for sure in this battle that has only really been 2 big cell markets. This also gives Apple another carrier to sell their phones. This report does seem to shed some light on when the Phone will be coming out which is later than expected from most. Many thought September was the month since the fourth quarter closes for Apple in September. The reports also say that Sprint will also carry the iPhone 4 on top of it. Richard Doherty, director of the research firm Envisioneering Group, said that the addition of the iPhone would help Sprint retain many of its customers itching to upgrade. The iPhone will also increase foot traffic in Sprint stores, which should help the company to sell high-margin iPhone accessories. “Sprint needs it,” said Mr. Doherty. “There are a lot of families that will embrace the iPhone.” It looks like Apple really wants to stick it to the droid and seems to be carried in the three major cell markets now.
