IPhone 5 to Launch on Sprint, T-Mobile | John Paczkowski | Digital Daily | AllThingsD

We believe the likelihood of the iPhone 5 launch in September including LTE [Long-Term Evolution] is now remote,” Misek said in a note to clients. “According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and will include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support.

Interesting that the iPhone 5 might be the iPhone 4s (which would be cool for me since I'm *still* seriously contemplating an iPhone 4 from Verizon and I'd hate to not be the cool kid). The iPhone 4 still looks great, still has the bestest or second-bestest screen out there and has tons of tech life left in it.

In other news... Sprint? Could Sprint feed the iPhone to Credo and other affiliates? How fab would that be?

Here's what I'm curious about -- how much marketshare could Apple get against Android by putting an iPhone on *all* the major carriers... and even open things up to regional carriers like CellularSouth, where I have the majority of my office phones. They're reliable, high-speed and local-ish (also an occasional JFP advertiser, full disclosure) but stuck with Android phones that I find less than overwhelming. (Sure, the phones are nice, but they run Android and are like PeeCees! Ew!)

Maybe having multiple handsets is less important than having as many carriers (and even some variety in the voice/data plans) as possible?
