As we reported few weeks back, five regional carriers in the U.S. start offering Apple’s iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 on their network today.
The five regional carriers include nTelos Wireless, Alaska Communications, Appalachian Wireless (Kentucky), GCI Wireless (Alaska), CellCom (Wisconsin).
Earlier today, we reported that nTelos – a U.S. Regional carrier was going to start offering Apple’s iPhone from April 20th.
It looks like, nTelos was not the only regional carrier to get Apple’s iPhone.
Ever since Sprint started selling Apple’s iPhone, its customers have complained about slow data speeds.
Sprint has been quite proactive in assuring their new iPhone customers that they’ve were taking the speed issue seriously and have been hard at work with Apple to sort out the issue.
Carriers are still citing shipping dates of more than 2-3 weeks for the month old iPhone 4S. The Wall Street Journal reports that surprisingly high demand is to blame for the short supply, not problems in manufacturing.
Earlier this week, we mentioned that Sprint would keep the GSM micro-SIM card slot unlocked, whereas Verizon will unlock the micro-SIM card slot by request after 60 days.
Macworld has received an update from Sprint explaining that this was not exactly the case, and that the micro-SIM card slot in Sprint iPhone 4S would be locked.
If you’re planning to use your GSM iPhone 4′s case for the new iPhone 4S then we may some bad news for you. It may not fit if you had bought your case especially the iPhone 4 bumper before the Verizon iPhone was launched in early February.
Sprint has just started taking per-orders for the CDMA iPhone 4 and has announced that it will start taking pre-orders for iPhone 4S from tomorrow, October 7th.
We knew Sprint is getting iPhone 4S, but we didn’t realise that Sprint will also be selling the 8GB CDMA iPhone 4 along with it.
All those conflicting reports about the next generation iPhone’s form factor has probably just been put to rest with less than 3 days to go for the Let’s Talk iPhone event and surprisingly it is Apple who has accidentally leaked the details.
AppleInsider has discovered references of iPhone 4S in the latest beta version of iTunes.
Wall Street Journal reports that Sprint, the third largest carrier in the U.S. will offer Apple’s iPhone 5 when it is launched later this year.
Wall Street Journal claims that according to their sources, Apple will launch iPhone 5 in mid-October and not early October as some reports had indicated.
Currently, we have different iPhone 4 models for GSM and CDMA network. It is widely speculated that Apple’s fifth generation iPhone will be a dual-mode iPhone, which works on CDMA and GSM networks.
Verizon CFO had also stated that they will offer iPhone 5 at the same time as AT&T, which will also work in as many countries as AT&T’s iPhone, which has global coverage, almost confirming that Apple’s next generation iPhone will be a ‘world phone’.
