Iphone 5 Release Date

Iphone 5 Release Date, Sprint will face an LTE iPhone 5 problem this year? One analyst said in a statement that the third-largest US wireless carrier might face the so-called “lag” if the iPhone 5 will include LTE.

Rumors say the iPhone 5 will get either a June or October release date.

But aside from the release date, rumors say the new iPhone might also ship with a larger screen, a new design and also, the much-anticipated 4G Long-Term Evolution which offers faster uploads and downloads.

Verizon is currently the LTE market leader in United States based on coverage while AT&T follows with its newly launched LTE networks. Meanwhile, Sprint is set to launch its own LTE network this year and most likely to be dealt before the release of the next iPhone.

According to Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett, Sprint might face a slowdown this year with the mention of the word “bankruptcy”, and Sprint might blame the iPhone 5.

Sprint reportedly signed a contract with Apple last year to get the iPhone on its network and so far, the result is near good.

For starters, last year’s deal with Apple requires Sprint to pay $20 billion for the iPhone in advance or in layman’s term, Sprint reportedly agreed to purchase at least 30.5 million iPhones over the next four years, including the current iPhone 4S and the upcoming iPhone, whether or not it could find customers to buy the phones.
