If Boost Mobile is your wireless carrier of choice, then you might have a new smartphone option to choose from this fall: the iPhone.

The Sprint-owned, pre-paid wireless service provider is apparently gearing up to introduce the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S in early September, according to a Friday report from TechnoBuffalo, which cited a "trusted source."

The rumor comes a day after Cricket Communications announced that it will be the first pre-paid carrier in the U.S. to offer the iPhone.

A Boost Mobile spokeswoman declined to comment when contacted by PCMag, noting "we don't comment on rumors or speculation on our product portfolio."

It's uncertain whether Boost will offer the iPhone with its $50 monthly Unlimited plan with Shrinkage, which includes unlimited talk, text, and Web, as well as $5 bill reductions (down to $35) for those who pay their bills on time.

In addition to AT&Ticon, the iPhone is available through national carriers Verizon Wirelessicon and Sprint, which jumped on board with the release of the iPhone 4S. T-Mobileicon is currently the only major U.S. carrier that does not yet have the iPhone, thanks to network incompatibilities.

A number of regional carriers have also landed the coveted Apple smartphone, including Alaska Communications, Appalachian Wireless, C Spire, Cellcom, GCI, and nTelos.
