The Sprint iPhone 5 release date is real and the network carriers are also set to carry the Apple iPhone 4, for the first time Sprint will be blessed with a little of the fruity loving.

For the first time Sprint will be carrying the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5 is set for release on October according to the Wall Street Journal.

Larger network companies such as AT&T and Verizon have dominated in subscribers but we know this is all down to the iPhone, Sprint managed a huge 52 million subscribers at the end of the second quarter, AT&T saw 99 million and the clear winners with 106 million was Verizon.

Sprints number will surely hit the roof as soon as they release the Apple iPhone 5; they are set to release the iPhone 4 at the same time as the iPhone 5.

There are many rumours when it comes to specifications and features, such as the iPhone being dual mode, may possibly come with an 8-megapixel camera, and so many more. We all thought the iPhone 5 was going to release in September but October is the month.

Even though WSJ has reported that Sprint will be releasing the iPhone 5 in October, this does not mean it is set in stone; neither Apple nor Sprint has made any official statements. So this means sit back and wait for an announcement.
