Sprint Dropping iPhone 4S Price to $149 Inventory Purge as New LTE iPhone Looms To help purge stock ahead of the rumored September launch of the next iPhone, Sprint has started selling the iPhone 4S for $149 with a two year contract. Apple is planning a media event for the week of September 9, where the company is expected to unveil a new, more powerful iPhone that finally supports newer LTE networks. The company is also expected to unveil a new 7 inch iPad, and a new version of the iPod shuffle. Sprint meanwhile continues to plow through deployment of their LTE network, recently announcing that the network is now available in parts of nineteen markets, with plans to cover all WiMax markets by the end of 2013.

Q: Will Sprint have an iPad, especially as you move to faster LTE networks? A: I can't comment on that. But it's a very good question.
I'd say that's a yes... -- "We're going to start at one end of (Fallujah), and we're not going to stop until we get to the other. If there's anybody left when that happens, we're going to turn around and we're going to go back and finish it." Lt. Col. Pete Newell: 1st Inf. US Army | |
|  |  | | Re: Go Sprint Go! So there was some question if Sprint would get LTE iPhone at same time as ATT/VZW. This probably indicates... yes.
Tablets/PCs tied to a carrier is not good for consumers, it's good for carriers. Better to get WiFi tethering on phone for tablet to connect than commit a tablet to a carrier methinks. | |
