The Now Network is apparently voting thumbs-down to the idea of having its
Total Equipment Protection plans available to its
new crown jewel. According to a leaked slide courtesy of
SprintFeed, your shiny Sprint-branded
iPhone 4S (or 4) won't be offered with a healthy portion of peace of mind; rather, you'll need to purchase the
AppleCare+ Protection Plan or go through a third party to have any protection from accidental damage. This may change down the road, as the slide says it won't be offered "at launch," but only time will tell. Unfortunate, yes, but we suppose there's always a bright side -- at least there's now a Sprint iPhone to not have insurance for, right?
