I do not see the iPhone 4 being on Sprint. I mean the 3gs was never brought over to Verizon, they just rolled out the 4. It would cost them more to create the 4 for Sprint, due to different chipsets being needed. What I see happening is 5 being released for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon, and 4 being sold at discount at Verizon and AT&T. Then in a year when 6 is being released, 5 will be on discount at all of the carriers.

Apple isn't needing to fight Android that badly, that it would be willing to create a brand new $50 version for a new carrier. It just wouldn't be worth it. People will flock to iPhone on sprint fast enough with a $200 release.
