iPhone Coming To Sprint Before Christmas?
Citadel Securities analyst Shing Yin released a statement today, citing the likely probability that Sprint could add the iPhone to its product portfolio before Christmas. The possibility of a Sprint branded iPhone seems logical now that Verizon has confirmed their move to limited data plans.
Yin believes that Apple will feel stronlgy compelled to push their iPhone onto Sprint as it is the last of four major U.S. carriers to offer true unlimited data plans. Yin went on to explain,
“We believe Sprint could capture more than its fair share of iPhone sales, especially if it gets the new model at the same time as AT&T and Verizon. We see little reason for Apple to hold back, noting that Sprint could offer an attractive proposition for more price-conscious users”.
Sprint has yet to comment on the analyst’s report.
