The response to this device by current and new customers has surpassed our expectations and validates our customers’ desire for a truly unlimited data pricing plan.” Sprint subscribers have been clamoring for Apple’s smartphone for years, and pent up demand looks to have made for quite a launch day at for the carrier.
