Sprint didn't get the I Phone 5 they received the I Phone 4g but the I Phone 5 is sill coming to sprint. Is sprint behind the curve? Well since Apple decided this was going to be a big launch for their company as well as Sprint the I Phone 5 release date has been set back by all carriers. This means the newest I Phone out is currently on the Sprint network. How long until the I Phone 5 is released and for what carriers? Only time will tell but for now we will just have to wait.
