The Sprint mobile phone operator is among the companies that this year will launch the iPhone 5 in their own offer and according to Bloomberg, the official launch of the new terminal produced by Apple will take place in mid-October. In an article published today, Bloomberg says that the iPhone 5 will surely be launched in the middle of October in the offer of the Sprint mobile phone operator, which will also offer unlimited internet plans for its own customers. Those from Bloomberg stated in the past that the iPhone 5 will be launched through the Sprint operator, but now they are talking about a certain launch of the new tariff plans together with the iPhone terminal.
Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) will offer Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s iPhone next month with unlimited data service plans to distinguish itself from rivals AT&T Inc. (T) and Verizon Wireless, according to people familiar with the matter. Sprint, the third-largest US wireless carrier, plans to begin selling the device in mid-October under a deal with Apple for the next model, the iPhone 5, said the people, who wouldn't be identified because the plans aren't public. Becoming the country's only operator to offer the device with unlimited data service for a flat fee may help Sprint draw customers from AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which already carry the phone, they said.
If Sprint will launch the terminal in mid-October, then at the end of September we should see the presentation conference of iOS 5 and iPhone 5. The new operating system would be available together with iPhone 5 or just a few days before the launch of the new terminal. For now, mid-October seems to be the safest time for the launch of the new iPhone 5, and I say this based both on the rumors presented so far and on the fact that Apple has not sent the invitations for the conference that would take place this month.
