If paying all this money for the iPhone makes Sprint go under, Verizon + AT&T will inevitably get more control over the iPhone, and make it less profitable for Apple.
Wasn't an issue for Apple during AT&T's exclusivity. Wasn't an issue for Apple when VZ began with the iPhone last year. Apple has proven itself resilient with the pricing of most of its products...and I don't see that changing any time soon.
