Sprint: Apple iPhone 4S brings 'best ever day of sales'
On Friday, as the iPhone 4S officially launched, Fared Adib, the carrier's product chief, said the Apple handset helped elevate the carrier's sales to a level not previously seen with the launch of any other product line. Sprint also began selling an 8-gigabyte version of the iPhone 4 for $100.
"Sprint today reported its best ever day of sales in retail, web and telesales for a device family in Sprint history with the launch of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4," Adib said in an email. "We reached this milestone at approximately noon CT/1pm ET. 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."
