Why the iPhone 4S will be Free

, Aug 25th 2011 Discuss [14]

Here’s the skinny: the following information is a set of educated guesses, analyzed facts turned into what I feel will be exactly what Apple will release at their next major keynote event as far as mobile devices go. First, I do not think that the device will have a “5″ in the title. Although it’s been an eternity in human time since the last iPhone release, that being the iPhone 4 for Verizon, in Apple time it’s only been nearly enough time before the next massively successful release. What I believe here instead is that all four of the biggest carriers in the USA will get the newest version of the iPhone inside October of 2011 and that this device will hold more water than just hardware improvements.

, Aug 23rd 2011 Discuss [11]

It appears that Sprint, one of the "big four" carriers in the USA to NOT have gotten their hands on any version of the iPhone thus far, will be amongst those lucky 3 (T-Mobile still not included) that are able to sell the next-generation device come October. It's the Wall Street Journal that's reporting their sources "familiar with the matter" that Sprint will be supplied with the iPhone 5 (or whichever iPhone is the most current at the time) alongside Verizon and AT&T. Meanwhile Sprint stock has jumped considerably today (see image inside post below) in light of the news. Read The Full Story
