Wall Street Journal has reported that Sprint entered into an agreement with Apple to purchase $20 billion iPhone over the next four years, that is about 30 million iPhone.
In accordance to BGR sources that Sprint will get iPhone 5 exclusively which will be a 4G WiMAX device. What about AT&T and Verizon ? the two carriers would launch iPhone 4S and they will get the iPhone 5 some time in the first quarter 2012 as an LTE device. What about the carriers worldwide ?
