Apple Iphone 5 not to feature 4G technology:Sprint in Trouble

With Sprint brokering a $ 20 Billion dollar deal with Apple,putting everything on the line,Wall Street released devastating news that the latest Installment of Iphone,Iphone 5 will not feature any 4G technology which means no WiMAX,No  & No LTE.The phone will be quipped with HSPA+ & EV-DO speeds which is definitely not the fastest connectivity offered by Verizon or AT & T or Sprint,its implied that Apple dropped the feature to ensure better battery life & didn't want the 4G feature to alter its design features.Since LTE is still in its nascent stage,it will be almost a year for the technology to become stabilized & prove to be more efficient.
                                                                       This would mean that Iphone 5 will not be able to provide supersonic download speeds although it will have a better battery life compared to Phone's with LTE technology.With Several Android LTE phones having battery issues & a new 10 minute charger prototype being devised for Android,it seems that Apple has decided to scrap off 4G technology for now due to its bulky & power hungry nature with possible implementations in its future Iphone.Now thats a bummer.
                                                                     This probably would have come as a disaster news for Sprint who had entered a $ 20 Billion dollar contract with Iphone with everything @ stake,and with T-mobile & Verizon playing the waiting game with Apple,it would appear that Sprint just signed its own death warrant.
