Apple’s new iPhone 5 handset is set to arrive on shelves at various wireless carriers in the United States before the end of this month, including Cricket Communications.

The subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, Inc. has already confirmed that the new iPhone 5 would become available for its customers starting with Friday, September 28th.

The wireless carrier did not offer specific info on the pricing of the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, but we could expect it to be in line with that of other operators in the United States. No info on a possible pre-order period was unveiled either.

Unveiled on Wednesday, iPhone 5 will be released on September 21st, and it is already available for pre-order in the US via Apple’s website, as well as through a series of wireless carriers in the country.
