AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will all sell the iPhone 5, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. Todays WSJ’s report continues to specify a “mid-October” release date for the iPhone 5 on all carriers, which is contrary to the Reuters exclusive from earlier today which said late September.
Adding Sprint to the mix means that, if the T-Mobile & AT&T merger goes through, every major cellular carrier in the USA will offer the iPhone on their networks. Sprint is a CDMA network much like Verizon, and is the 3rd largest cell provider in the United States.

Too late Apple! I waited long enough & finally broke down and bought an HTC EVO.
Sprint covers Virgin Mobile, maybe this will be how Apple comes to prepaid markets in the USA too?
I’m crossing my fingers right now to see whether or not it will come one of my favorite prepaid networks, Straight Talk.
OS X Daily, do you think there is a possibility for the 4S or 5?
