Sprint remains behind Verizon and AT&T in terms of coverage, but they're still working hard to prove that they're willing to grow as a carrier.
4G LTE offers a theoretical download speed of around 100Mb/s; however, due to the realities of network congestion, the download speeds on 4G LTE in real life situations are significantly slower. Many of Apple's latest devices, including the iPhone 5s, iPad Mini with retina display, and iPad Air can take advantage of Sprint's 4G LTE network.
