Sprint Nextel Corp., the third-largest U.S. wireless operator, struck a deal to offer Apple Inc.’s latest iPhone, joining rivals AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless in selling the device.

Sprint will begin selling the iPhone 4S on Oct. 14 along with its competitors. The iPhone 4S uses two antennas to improve call quality and a processor that is seven times faster than the chip in the previous phone, Apple said today at a press conference at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
