Will You Get The iPhone 5?

Apple is set to debut its latest 'must-have' product—most likely the iPhone 5—at 1 p.m. EST Tuesday in California, Mashable reported in its live blog of the event.

The list of rumored enhancements to the device is as long as it is unconfirmed. One big rumor, according to the Washington Post, is that Sprint will be the exclusive wireless carrier to the iPhone 5, with AT&T and Verizon getting the iPhone 4S.

Would an additional carrier improve reception in the Washington region? Probably not. 

A J.D. Power and Associate report from March ranked the Washington area as having the worst cell phone reception of the country's top 27 markets, the Washington Post reported.

Sprint, Verizon and AT&T all ranked about the same for the number of poor quality calls.

"In our area, 18 out of every 100 calls is affected by static, echoes, or is dropped altogether, the report found," the Washington Post said.
