Sprint may discontinue iPhone 4 on iPhone 5 launch day

This doesn't necessarily mean it won't be sold, it just means there is not room to display it in some retail locations. Display space is at a premium with all of the different models options, so I would imagine it may be considered a waste to display multiple phones that look identical and no one can tell the difference.

sprint really cant afford to give them away for free. They need to take something from people up front. Happens when your company loses money.

you can so still get the i4! Buy a 4S and tell the fool it's a 4, they'll never notice the difference!

(because they're pretty much the exact same phone lol)

Well unless Sprint has more or less sold out their Iphone 4 inventory, or plan to reconstitute it for Virgin Mobile, I would assume they are still going to sell them. A free Iphone 4 is a hard bargain to pass up for people looking to get a cheap device on contract.

we've been told that we probably are not going to carry the iphone 4 for much longer just due to apple charging us too much for the phones. It's hard to carry a phone that you dont make any money off of in the indirect business.

This entire article is false, it only means that in the Planogram all iPhone 4 signage will be dropped to make room for the 5...they have every intention to sell it for free, and it should easily be the best free device around (especially without a mail in rebate)

Its the same damn thing as the 4S, who the hell needs to see what it looks like?
