Wireless carrier Sprint Nextel will start selling the forthcoming iPhone 5 in mid-October, .
This will be the first time the wildly successful Apple smartphone will be available to Sprint, the nation's No. 3 carrier.
The iPhone launched in 2007 with an exclusive partnership with AT&T. Verizon Wireless began to sell a version of the iPhone 4 earlier this year.
The iPhone 5 is expected to operate on all three networks.
The lineup addition would close a huge hole in Sprint's offerings -- mostly phones running Google's Android operating system.
Details on the iPhone 5's features are scant, but it's widely expected to be a dual-mode phone, allowing it to access the different network technologies with just one piece of hardware.
Currently, Apple builds two different models of the iPhone 4. One supports CDMA, for Verizon, and another that supports GSM, for AT&T.
