Hey Sprint customers: Apple’s fourth Generation iPad and iPad mini will make its way to the carrier with LTE on board.
Awesome, cool. We’ll update you as soon as we know when, but we’d imagine fairly soon with the holiday season looming.
The fourth generation iPad is getting a beefy upgrade, twice as fast as the previous gen (A6X chip) from earlier this year, and that new Lightning connector is there. The device is now present on three major U.S. carriers, which will likely add to the company’s growing 100 million strong iPad army.
