“U.S. wireless carriers Sprint Corp. and T-Mobile US Inc. said on Tuesday they received strong pre-orders for Apple Inc’s (AAPL.O) iPhone 7, sending shares of the world’s most valuable listed company up 3 percent,” Reuters reports.
“Sprint said pre-orders were up nearly four times, compared to last year. Pre-orders also rose nearly four times at T-Mobile, compared with its next most popular iPhone,” Reuters reports. “The companies did not disclose specific sales numbers. Pre-orders started on Friday.
