The briefing reportedly told the sales team that Sprint will begin offering the iPhone 4 in October 2011 (next month) with standard Sprint data plans; they will include a $10 data smartphone premium that is not specific to iPhone.
Note that this is the iPhone 4, not the iPhone 5. The Sprint person said the iPhone 5 wouldn’t be coming until next year. Seems strange to me.
So with a $10 premium, they’ll basically have the same price plans as AT&T – but with half the coverage area.
If this is correct we can probably expect the usual iPhone succession scheme once the iPhone 5 is announced: iPhone 4 becomes cheaper, iPhone 5 new top of the line.
