Radio Shack Inventory Points to Sprint iPhone 5

- By - Source : 9to5 Mac

There's been a lot of iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 rumors over the last few days, but one of the more noteworthy ones (at least, we think so), is the appearance of a Sprint iPhone 5 in Radio Shack's inventory.

We've seen everything from fake prototypes to codenames in Apple's inventory, but so far, we haven't seen much that confirms one of the biggest iPhone 5 rumors: That the Apple iPhone is finally coming to Sprint. It's one that's being doing the rounds for several months, and now, it look like we might finally have confirmation that it's true.

Over the weekend, 9to5 Mac was sent what appears to be a photograph of a Radio Shack inventory screen that shows an AT&T iPhone 5, a Verizon iPhone 5 and a Sprint iPhone 5. Considering AT&T and Verizon have both had the iPhone for a while now, it's the mention of Sprint that has everyone talking. 9to5 does mention that this source is a new one, meaning we should probably take this with a little pinch of salt, just in case. Either way, with the iPhone launch scheduled for tomorrow, we don't have long to wait before we find out if and when the Sprint iPhone 5 is launching.

The iPhone would be a huge boon for Sprint if it can manage to secure it. According to WSJ, the company actually blamed the fact that both of its major competitors offer the iPhone as one of the reasons for its decline in subscribers. With a CDMA version already available for Verizon, it makes sense that Sprint (also CDMA) would be able to pick it up, too. Stay tuned...

Definitely fake. Price check shows unactivated pricing and all phones start 170 sku.

That $50 price is more than likely the deposit you pay to hold one. Have you not heard of phone pre-sales? That secures you an iphone. Then you pay the rest when you get phone.

News?!?!? Perhaps you don't know that these "correspondents" get paid (or retained) by page clicks and not by quality of the "news". And anything Apple gets enough clicks mostly from apple haters on a site like this. Its so amusing that apple haters create their own hell !! :-)

My own hell ? Why ? because there are stupid ppl buying their stuff ? And i`m browsing the site looking for some fresh stuff no matter that the company involved is one that i hate , maybe who knows , some time a brand that i hate turns into one that i`ll love, but this is quite ridiculous so sad that the current times we live in is mostly based on this shit.

It used to be about getting to the moon first. Now it's about getting an iPhone first.

20th century = fail

I cant be the only one here getting really sick of all the iPhone hype, can I? I'm about ready to chuck mine as soon as I can get out of AT&T.

Yea - that's a misprint on the price.

They mean to say it's $50 a Gigabyte of storage.

You can choose 16GB or 32GB


You do the math...

;)

Perhaps all of the people who use the term "iSheep" are actually becoming the sheep themselves?

lol, it is a place holder but I bet you would change your mind really quickly if the IPhone was available for free + a 50 dollar rebate. We are all technologists at this site after all. Does not matter what you think about it. There would be a whole lot of Android/IPhone owners on this site at that point and all the hatred would then be at WP7. lol

Again, this has been settled already, but I suppose some people have to feed off this once-a-year rush so they just go and talk about it until the topic falls over dead.

I hope, for Sprint's sake, that they do get the iPhone 5 and that they are able to make a sh@t-load of money AND keep provide high-quality unlimited data.
