While it’s quite common for carriers that don’t offer the iPhone to try and put it down, word is going around that Sprint’s latest EVO Shift 4G advert was toned down in order to not offend Apple. It’s not clear if Sprint will be getting its own version of the iPhone anytime soon, but it’s obvious that taking pot shots at Apple’s phone isn’t going to help the carrier do so. Such a scenario happened a while back when Verizon initially attacked the iPhone but later grew silent and avoided making direct attacks on the iPhone, which was probably a hint that the carrier was making a deal for the iPhone, and has since become a reality. Regardless of whether Sprint will be getting the iPhone or not, the EVO Shift 4G is an interesting phone and you can check out our detailed review of it.
