  • Apple has removed all references to Sprint from its online store.
  • Previously, Sprint customers could activate lines through T-Mobile.
  • This comes three years after T-Mobile acquired Sprint.



Apple has removed references to Sprint from its online store and removed the option to activate an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch through the carrier. This comes three years after mobile carrier giant T-Mobile acquired Sprint.

According to MacRumors, the changes seem to have gone into effect today, with all references to Sprint gone from Apple’s website. Before today, Sprint customers could still activate Sprint devices through the T-Mobile network, and Sprint carrier deals were listed. Now, Sprint connection options are gone when completing a purchase on Apple’s online store.
