According to several rumors, Sprint will offer Apple’s iPhone 5 when it is launched in the next few weeks, alongside AT&T and Verizon.
We’ve already seeing signs, which indicate that Sprint is gearing up for the launch. Sprint first increased the early-termination fees earlier in the month and couple of days back it killed its Premier Upgrade program and made changes to the return policy.
It is widely speculated that Apple will launch two new iPhones – a cheaper entry-level iPhone model that looks like iPhone 4, which has been unofficially dubbed iPhone 4S and a redesign iPhone 5 and we seem to have also got a confirmation from none other than Apple’s board member Al Gore who was quoted as saying ‘the new iPhones would be out next month’ at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit yesterday.
It looks like Apple’s board member Al Gore has revealed that Apple will indeed launch not one but two new iPhones, just as some reports have claimed.
The Next Web reports that Al Gore specifically stated that ‘the new iPhones would be out next month’ at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit today.
So it looks like we finally have a date for Apple’s big media event when it is expected to launch iPhone 5.
The thing that everyone probably wants to know is when can we get our hands on Apple’s fifth generation iPhone 5, if Apple unveils it on October 4th. Fortune reports that according to Brian White, an analyst at Ticonderoga, the time between unveiling and releasing iPhone 5 will be considerably short this year, especially since it has been delayed.
It is widely speculated that Apple’s iPhone 5, which is already seeing unprecedented demand will be available in the first half of October. In fact, we’ve have heard October 7thand October 15th as the possible release dates, which means that Apple needs to have the special media event to launch their new iPhone either at the end of September or the first week of October.
If you’re eagerly waiting for T-Mobile USA to offer iPhone 5 on its network, then don’t count on it just yet.
TmoNews reports that they’ve received an image of an internal news posting, which reveals that T-Mobile USA Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman has informed employees during a company town hall meeting held on the September 15th, that it won’t be getting iPhone 5 this year.
As we’ve mentioned multiple times, we’ve heard conflicting reports about next generation iPhone’s form factor so far. According to some reports, the next generation iPhone will be completely redesigned and will look more like iPod Touch 4G rather than iPhone 4. While, some reports claim that fifth generation iPhone will come with improved specifications such as faster processor, 8-megapixel camera etc. just like iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, but won’t feature an all-new design and will look like iPhone 4.
PhoneArena has published a photo, which they claim is the logic board for iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. The photo first appeared on the microblogging site Weibo.
The photo clearly reveals Apple’s A5 chip, which currently powers iPad 2 and widely expected to power iPhone 5.
Apple is widely speculated to launch two new iPhone models – a cheaper entry-level iPhone model that looks like iPhone 4, which has been dubbed iPhone 4S and a redesigned iPhone 5.
Engadget has published a screenshot from AT&T’s internal system, which indicates that AT&T is at least preparing for the iPhone 4S launch.
9 to 5 Mac reports that Apple will indeed launch two iPhone models – a cheaper entry-level iPhone model that looks like iPhone 4, which has been dubbed iPhone 4S and a teardrop shaped iPhone 5.
9 to 5 Mac claims that iPhone 4S will be offered in both prepaid and post paid plans.
