This sucks. I was in the Sprint store this weekend, asked about 4G service for the new iPhone, and the gentlemen told me they were rolling out their newly acquired LTE in my area in the coming months, and that it would work with my new iPhone 5s's. I found a spot where I received Sprint's LTE signal, and could not get any internet connection, although the iPhone indicated it was connected to the LTE band. (I then turned off "enable LTE" in settings, and was able to again browse using 3G.) Got home and did a little research, and found the above disappointing article.
I also found this recent previous MR article: https://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/1...tt-and-verizon-in-one-model-add-china-mobile/ Here it is mentioned that:
I have Sprint, because ironically enough, both AT&T and Verizon do not have a strong enough signal inside my house...

If it is true that new models will be coming out for Sprint users, would current early-adopters be able to get a replacement at no-cost? I'm feeling pwnd.In the United States, a single model of each line supports both AT&T and Verizon, as well as T-Mobile, with support for Sprint coming in a separate model that is also compatible with KDDI and Softbank in Japan.
