iPhone 5 To Launch On Sprint, AT&T, Verizon In Mid-October, Canada To Follow?

The Wall Street Journal offers an interesting report that indicates that Sprint, a USA wireless carrier, will be offering the iPhone 5 when it launches later this fall 2011.

Currently, the only US wireless carriers that officially offer the iPhone are AT&T and Verizon, making Sprint the third national US wireless carrier to offer Apple’s iPhone.

According to the WSJ, the iPhone 5 will launch on Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon at the same time in mid-October.

Sprint Nextel Corp. will begin selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October, people familiar with the matter said, closing a huge hole in the No. 3 U.S. carrier’s lineup and giving Apple Inc. another channel for selling its popular phone.

With the iPhone 5 said to be launching on three major US carriers by mid-October, it’s likely that Canada will get the device at the same October time frame instead of having to wait a few weeks later.

Staying with my iPhone 4 this iteration.  From the sounds of things there won’t be enough of a departure from this model.  Will be happy to have the improvements of iOS 5.

Feeling ready to upgrade. I can’t believe I’ve had the same iPhone for over a year! 😛 Used to upgrading every summer.

Last iPhone releases were always a year spaced out. Does this mean for the next iPhones there won’t be summer releases but fall releases?

Come on! What makes anyone think it will be available at the same time as in the US? Hasn’t happened yet…

It will be available when it is available–the less speculation the better.

Have a great day!
