Sprint Posts Q2 2013 Numbers, 1.4 Million iPhones Sold

Sprint, an American telecom, has posted its Q2 2013 earnings numbers. The company operated as a loss this quarter, losing a hefty $847 million. Though sales were slightly down, Spring managed to sell 1.4 million iPhones during the quarter, down 100,000 from last quarter. However, the good news is is that 41% of these iPhone sales were to new Sprint customers. This is good news for Apple as it continues to bring in new users.
