Sprint and AT&T both pretty pumped about the sales prospects of the iPhone 5
Sprint was the last major US carrier to start selling the iPhone, but once they jumped on board Sprint subscribers started snatching up Apple’s smartphone like hotcakes. Last October when the iPhone 4S went on sale, it only took 12 hours for Apple’s smartphone to set a one-day sales record at Sprint for a specific […]

Comments Off on Sprint drops price of iPhone 4S to low low price of $49 thanks to $100 American Express gift card
If you’re a Sprint subscriber who has been contemplating getting an iPhone, now may be the perfect time to pounce. Not too long ago, Sprint dropped the price of the iPhone 4S to $150 with a 2-year contract. Today, it sweetened the deal even more by dropping the buy-in price to $49, the result of […]

Comments Off on Sprint has no plans to charge users extra for Facetime over 3G
In addition to a number of new features, iOS 6 will also enable iPhone users for the first time to Facetime chat over 3G networks. Naturally, actually enabling this feature also requires the participation of mobile carriers and it goes without saying that some mobile carriers are more hesitant than others. Over the past few […]

Comments Off on Sprint CEO to take 2012 pay cut on account of iPhone subsidies
Well this is sort of an odd story. So remember how Sprint, in an effort to save the company, bet the farm on the iPhone by agreeing to purchase $15 worth of iPhones over the course of a few years? That is to say, Sprint committed to purchasing x amount of iPhones regardless of whether […]

Comments Off on Sprint is ready for a 4G LTE enabled iPhone 5
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has been pretty forthright regarding the challenges Sprint currently faces. Specifically, Hesse has previously stated that the iPhone, or lack thereof, was the top reason for subscriber defection over the past few years. And with AT&T and Verizon already operating with a head start, Sprint had to make a drastic move […]

Comments Off on Don’t fret, Sprint doesn’t throttle iPhone users
Coming to the iPhone party late, Sprint found itself unable to stop subscriber churn customers flocked to AT&T, and more recently, Verizon. Apple was subsequently able to leverage the popularity of the iPhone to extract some favorable terms from Sprint when the nation’s third largest carrier finally did agree to get into the iPhone game. […]

Comments Off on AT&T has top iPhone data speeds in the US
People seem to have a love-hate relationship with AT&T. On one hand, people love to bitch and moan about the crappy reception they have with Ma Bell, yet there was curiously no exodus of subscribers when the iPhone came to Verizon and subsequently Sprint. I suppose part of the reason folks are, in part, reluctant […]

Comments Off on Sprint says iPhone 4S is more data efficient than other smartphones
Sprint needed the iPhone badly. The company was hemorrhaging money and was finding it increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to compete with the likes of AT&T and Verizon who not only boast more subscribers, but also carried the marquee smartphone on the market – the iPhone. It’s well established that Apple’s iPhone fundamentally changed the […]
Continue reading...Sprint pays Apple $200 more per iPhone than AT&T and other carriers
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Update: Our apologies. In our haste we misread the blurb from Dan Hesse. The subsidy Sprint pays Apple is not $200 more than AT&T pays. Rather, the subsidy it pays to Apple is $200 more it pays for other devices. Shortly before Apple officially announced the iPhone 4S, a report emerged claiming that Sprint was […]

Comments Off on Sprint calls the iPhone the most successful product launch in Sprint history
Sprint reportedly took a big gamble on the iPhone, with a report two weeks ago claiming that the nations’ third largest carrier committed to purchasing 30.5 million iPhones regardless of whether or not its consumer base proved to be iPhone hungry. When Dan Hesse presented the plan to Sprint’s board of directors, many of them were naturally […]

Comments Off on iPhone 4S already the most successful iPhone launch ever, says AT&T
After being on pre-order for less than 24 hours, the iPhone 4S is already on its way to being the most successful iPhone launch ever. AT&T announced yesterday that demand for Apple’s newest smartphone has been overwhelming, with the company having already processed over 200,000 preorders in the first 12 hours alone. AT&T has seen […]

Comments Off on Sprint confirms unlimited data plans for iPhone 4S users
It was quick, and if you blinked, you may have missed it, but Apple announced yesterday that the iPhone is finally coming to Sprint. You wouldn’t know that, though, if you took a look at Sprint’s website. Curiously, Sprint.com still bares no mention of the iPhone.
