Big Time rumor: Next iPhone will support all 4 US carriers!!!!!!!!

Ok so this is a big rumor that is going around but walk with me here while I guide you into making sense of this rumor. Rumor has it that Apple's next iPhone will be dubbed the iPhone 4S, and will not only support the current two carriers its on now, which is Verizon and At&t, but also Sprint and T-Mobile (who knows if there will be a T-mobile anymore). Here is where it makes a good bit of sense, Android is Apples direct competition and they as in Apple knows that Android has flooded the market and has taken a huge chunk of Apples Market share; and we know that Mr. Jobs can't have money leaving his pocket. So the only logical explanation for this rumor is that in order to compete with there direct competition place your phone on every Carrier as Android is on every carrier. It makes sense because most will not leave Sprint nor T-mobile to pay higher prices just for the iPhone so they settle or choose Android instead. Lets see come September if this rumor fans out.
