While no official announcement has been made as to whether or not the carrier will obtain the iPhone, it seems Sprint may be making some preparations to prepare for the boost in data usage, should Apple's iOS powerhouse join Sprint's lineup. A new report has the carrier limiting its mobile hotspot plans to 5GB of data as of October 2nd, and we all know what product is to more than likely make an appearance shortly thereafter!
It had previously been reported that Sprint should see the iPhone in its portfolio of phones when it presumably launches in October. Sprint is hoping to reportedly attract customers by providing unlimited data plans for the new iPhone when it launches, since AT&T and Verizon have since moved from unlimited plans to tiered.

So it could possibly be assumed that to prepare for a potential influx of subscribers, Sprint is taking a stab at preventing consumers from going through huge amounts of data via their laptops. On the bright side, if the above holds true, it seems as though on-device mobile plans should remain unlimited for the interim.

so what was that about "A truly Unlimited plan", seems more like an "unlimited plan with strings attached" to me?
