Features of the iPhone 5 is set to have a faster CPU, larger 4-inch screen, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. It’s also expected that the iPhone 5 will run on Sprint’s exclusive 4G Network.

On the other side, the iPhone 4S is expected to debut on Verizon and AT&T. It’s set to feature most of the same specs as the original iPhone 4, but with added extras including; a low voltage Apple A5 CPU, an eight megapixel camera, and a metal premium backing.

The rumor is coming off the heels of a Wall Street Journal report that states Sprint guarantees Apple that they will purchase over 30.9 million iPhones over the next four years. This equated to around $20 million.

Although, Sprint is supposedly launching the iPhone 5 first, Verizon and AT&T customers shouldn’t necessarily jump providers. It’s also believed that Apple will launch the iPhone 5 for those carriers in early 2012. That version of the iPhone 5 is set to run on the 4G LTE network.
