iPhone 4S Marks Bold 'Moneyball' Bet for Sprint

18.05.12

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has sold some 130 million iPhones worldwide, making it easily the world's single most popular smartphone of its kind. Yet the iPhone, which has brought fortune to AT&T and Verizon Wireless in the United States, could be the device that makes or breaks their rival Sprint (NYSE:S).

The No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier began selling the iPhone 4S Oct. 14 for $199.99 on contract. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said on the company's Q3 earnings call that Sprint sales of the handset brought in the most new subscribers ever for a new smartphone launch after two weeks, topping even that of the Android-based HTC Evo 4G.

Did Sprint mortgage its future to get the device? It's beginning to feel that way.

Sprint Oct. 26 posted a net loss of $301 million, or 10 cents a share, on sales of $8.33 billion in the third quarter . The good news is it added 1.3 million new subscribers for Q3, doubling its additions from a year ago. Moreover, iPhone 4S, coupled with several solid Android handset launches, should help Sprint pad its additions even more for the holiday quarter.
