Resource Wall Street Journal says that Sprint has made a deal with Apple, according to the terms of which he spent the next four years should be available from the manufacturer about 30.5 million iPhone totaling $ 20 billion

For the operator, recently losing its subscriber base, this transaction is very important. According to sources, speaking at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Sprint, which took place in August, CEO Dan Hesse (Dan Hesse) said that the main cause of loss of customers is the iPhone - wanting to buy "apple" smartphone subscribers in the end went over to AT & T and Verizon.
