With Spring Unlimited Data You Can Play, Stream and Upload Forever

Sprint unlimited data is now offered with the iPhone in the United States and this television commercial tells us why it’s so important.

With so many online capabilities, the iPhone 5 can be a certified data-eater. Whether you’re uploading photos to Instagram, streaming music on Songza, or playing an online game with your friends (or doing all of these things), you’re using your fair share of data. With amped up data needs, the average iPhone 5 user could benefit from Sprint unlimited data according to this commercial.

The commercial itself seems to idealize the use of iPhones as devices that capture moments in time and overall make our lives better. The commercial features a snapshot sequence of a young boy running into his mother’s arms, which hammers home the nostalgic angle Sprint is going for.
