When Verizon finally (finally) got the iPhone, it was preceded by a series of moves making it harder for customers to opt out of their contracts early or upgrade faster so that they’d roped into the iPhone 4 for as long as possible. We’re seeing something similar happen with Sprint now.
“In order to continue offering customers one of the best values of affordable unlimited data plans in the industry today, cutting-edge devices at great prices and our ongoing investment in providing great customer service, we had to make the difficult decision that it’s necessary to bring the Sprint Premier Program to a close at this time.”
Some members of this program were eligible to upgrade their phone every year, rather than the every two years that’s more standard. Sprint has also slashed return periods for phones from 30 days down to just two weeks.
Now, this in no way says the iPhone 5 is coming, but it’s one of those situations where you wouldn’t be thought mad for adding two and two together.
