Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

How on earth would you expect us other users here to know that? We're not Apple.

Who's Ting???

Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

I wish it were clear. In either case, the iPhone NEEDS to come to ting.
I have a samsung galaxy nexus and not an iphone 5, purely because ting is the best carrier the industry has.
And android is definitely a worse operating system than iOS. I have used both for over 3 months now, I think I'm qualified to say that. Obviously Mac OS is better than Windows or Chrome. I want tight integration between devices, and I want mobile that makes sense.

Neither one is going to answer you here. This is a USER forum.

So complain to Sprint.
