We pretty much know that Sprint will be getting the new iPhone 5 when it is announced later this month, and goes on sale at the start of October, due to all the information we have seen over the last few weeks.

Now more evidence has been revealed which all but confirms that Sprint will be getting the new iPhone 5, and the details come from the lawsuit Sprint is has filed against the proposed AT&T and T-Mobile merger.
