Is iPhone 5 going to be a Sprint exclusive?

03 October, 2011
According to WSJ, the wireless carrier is betting its entire future on a multibillion-dollar deal with Apple.

Sort by:

Let's hope that IF Sprint does hold exclusive rights to this devices - for whatever reason - the rest of the world will still get iPhone 5 in favour of the 4S.

I couldn't care less about what carriers in the USA are doing, but the iPhone has a massive following in Australia and I would hate having to wait another 3-6 Months.

    hahaha as of 3pm yesterday melbourne time the iphone 4 has been placed on constraint!!!!! And this only happens when a new iphone has come out or when a known flaw has been confirmed on a device!!! I can inly can confirm this with telstra australia not any other network..

    Copied this off ip4 forum but if its not ip5 then to many ip4s is not the next gen iphone.

                A very very risky future for Sprint.
                Unlike a couple of years ago, iPhone is not the top dog phone anymore. There's still a big following, but betting your whole future on it is a very very risky gamble.

                  Mree, 04 Oct 2011It looks like a Samsung Galaxy S2, if the photos indicated ... moreApparently the elongated home button would function as a second touch area, for unlocking iPhone and swiping between pages.

                  I am thinking of the gaming possibilities. Kinda interesting.

                    It looks like a Samsung Galaxy S2, if the photos indicated are the true appearance of the rumored iPhone 5.

                            The screen look bigger than iPhone4, so it should have higher res than 960x640 if it wants to stay as retina display.

                              May be this does make sense. Apple is a smart kid, they will launch 4s with AT&T and 5 with Sprint this year and then in the first half of next year there will be an announcement of the iPhone 5S which will be the one to look for.

                                It's FAKE. the curved body was a design flaw with the headphone jack and apple won't bring that back. Don't believe the hype.

                                    I don't see why Apple would limit themselves to just one carrier again. They did it with ATT and that was a fail. They wouldn't repeat this with another company no matter how much they are offered. Android is already taking over the market and available to so many people and carriers. The only way for Apple to compete is to let as many carriers have access to their products. This is just another rumor that some crazed fan thought up.

                                      Summarizing the rumors and clues, it is highly likely that only 4GS is launched later today.
