According to a developing report which just surfaced by WSJ, Sprint, which is one of the biggest cellular networks in the U.S. will offer the iPhone 5 on its network once launched in October.

iPhone-4-Sprint

There have been reports in the past that Apple is seeking to bring the iPhone on Sprint, but the news simply died away in a matter of weeks. The news of Apple showing interest in Sprint emerged when Apple posted a job opening for a “Carrier Engineering team” in Kansas City, where Sprint HQ is located.

At the moment, the only carriers in the U.S. which offer the iPhone on contract is AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Apart from that, you can also purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, but its worth noting that when it comes to carriers; there isn’t a lot of option for people. And also, the iPhone 5 landing on Sprint would be a huge leap in terms of market expansion and seeing a bunch of happy faces on different carriers.

Who knows, it this report turns out to be turn, maybe T-Mobile would also follow in and launch the iPhone on their network, which would be a huge leap for Apple in terms of expanding further into the market.
