What if I told you that the iPhone was coming to T-Mobile? Would you be skeptical? I don't blame you. This has been speculated numerous times in the past, and guess what? Still no iPhone on T-Mobile...
Magenta has actively begun to support unlocked iPhones, but that still means you have to either buy a much more expensive unlocked iPhone or get your unlocked. Speaking from experience, it's not as very easy task to accomplish. This option is far outweighed by the simplicity of picking one up at one of the other 3 major carriers for a subsidized price.
Well that's all about to change! Maybe...
Analyst Nick Delfas believes that T-Mobile will offer the iPhone 5 in "early 2013". Whether this holds true remains to be seen. In my opinion, it doesn't seem very unlikely with Apple's history. The only time that the iPhone has launched later than the initially release was when it hit regional and prepaid carriers. T-Mobile is a national carrier, and that's why I don't see this happening. I don't know why T-Mobile still is not offering Apple devices, but if they were to start, I think it would be with the iPhone 5S. Expanding the iPhone market would definitely be a win for everyone involved and I certainly hope it happens. But like any rumor, we'll have to wait and see.
What about you, folks? Would you happily pick an iPhone from T-Mobile? Would you go as far as switching carriers if T-Mobile began selling the iPhone?
