Will Sprint carry Apple iphone 5?

By Sony Dhiman


IPhone 5 Will Support both GSM and CDMA

Rumors of a both GSM and CDMA Apple cell phone have been around since 2009, however, at that time, professionals considered that an iphone using Qualcomm's dual-carrier processor chip will not be readily available ahead of 2011. Well, it is 2011, and although all of us still don't have any official specs for the apple iphone 5 yet, it is entirely possible that it would be a global phone.

According to a recent report, an app developer, who preferred not to give up the name of the application or his own name, has clues that iPhone 5 will be a dual-mode world phone. The proof that was provided to one of the reporters at TechCrunch includes a number of software usage logs, which show that currently a number of individuals were trying out the application using a single, brand new Apple gadget that without doubt is a GSM-CDMA cell phone. The records additionally reveal that the device that has been used to register for the app was operating on Apple's forthcoming iOS 5, and it used the two individual codes that recognize mobile networks: MNC (mobile network codes) and MCC (mobile county codes). MNC/MCC codes are the unique codes for Verizon and AT&T networks.

If indeed each of these recent statements are genuine, then iPhone 5 is going to be Apple's primary smartphone to support both GSM and CDMA. All apple iphones were only GSM smartphones until February of 2011, when Apple introduced the iPhone 4 CDMA for Verizon. It is also expected that Apple Inc. will likely make the iPhone 4 available on Sprint this October. Sprint utilizes the same CDMA technology as Verizon wireless.

Sprint to provide the iPhone 5 in October

The addition of the iphone 4 mobilephone is not the only surprise Sprint has in store for its potential clients. Evidently, the third largest carrier in the country will probably start offering the iPhone 5, as well. This for sure will make it possible for Sprint to raise its number of contract customers. The wireless carrier suffered a significant loss in its 2nd quarter, when around 101,000 postpaid potential clients decided to switch to some other providers. Sprint also lost $847 million during that quarter, and this loss was charged on its significant competitors, Verizon and AT&T, who both provide the iPhone.

The apple iphone 5 is anticipated to arrive on Sprint, AT&T and Verizon in the month of October, and the device is speculated to include an improved digital camera, but not a front facing LED flash. The 5th generation Apple cell phone, that might even be known as iPhone 4S, will most likely resemble the iphone 4, but fans are wishing that it will be more compact and sleeker as compared with its predecessor.

Neither Apple nor Sprint made a comment on the latest gossips, which propose that Sprint will start carrying the iPhone.
