IPhone 5′s Big New Features: Sprint, T-Mobile

Further
corroboration of rumors that the next iteration of Apple’s iPhone will
be more of a refinement of its predecessor than an overhaul.

Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek too says the device will be
largely similar to the iPhone 4, but with significant improvements under
the hood.

“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.”

These specs are essentially the same ones Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported back in April,
so Misek’s not particularly telling us anything new, with the exception
of one very interesting detail. He expects Apple to launch the the
iPhone 5/4S on a handful of new carriers, Sprint, T-Mobile, and China
Telecom among them.

“Industry checks indicate AAPL has or is about to announce new
carrier deals in time for the holidays with T-Mobile and Sprint,” Misek
wrote. “Additionally, we believe another China carrier could launch the
iPhone in the next 12 months. On Apple’s last earnings call, management
responded to a question about launching the CDMA iPhone at other
carriers as “we are constantly looking and adding where it makes sense,
and you can keep confidence that we’ll continue to do that.”
