Could Sprint Be Testing iPhone 5?

Apple’s latest job posting “Carrier Engineer” in Kansas City, Missouri to work with carriers on fixing bugs and getting the iPhone approved by the network seems to point that there could be small chance that the iPhone 5 may very well be ready for release mid-year. Either that or the rumors of the iPhone 4S will be coming true instead. The job description is as follows:

“Member of the Carrier Engineering team that supports taking products through technical approval at the carriers. A Carrier Engineer team is responsible for day-to-day technical interactions with the one or more carriers to track down issues reported by the carrier, assist the carrier with testing they might be conducting and working with program management, software development and test teams to get products approved by the carriers.”

It so happens that Kansas City, Missouri happens to be the HQ for Sprint which is located at Overland Park so it seems very unlikely that this is just a coincidence that they are looking for a carrier engineer. Not to worry, the mid-year is almost upon us so it’s only a matter of weeks before we find out if this is true or not.
