The iPhone 4 antenna issue may not warrant a recall in Apple’s estimation, but that isn’t really because they’re too afraid of the cost of such action. The iPad made Q3 2010 a tremendous success for the business, writes PC Magazine. Apple made $ 3.25 billion net profit on revenue of $ 15.7 billion. Never one to rest on its laurels, Apple may be making more exciting news very soon. Cult of Mac insists they have a “highly placed source” that has leaked that T-Mobile will start selling iPhone 4 by Q3 2010. Furthermore, PC World reports that this merger is 80 percent certain.
What could not T-Mobile achieve with iPhone 4?
T-Mobile would rise from America’s fourth-largest wireless carrier to the very top with iPhone 4 in the wings. Frequency issues could get within the way, indicates PC World. T-Mobile’s band is different than other U.S. carriers, and iPhone 4 hasn’t been proven to work within their full range.
Possibility of yet another iPhone 4 unsubstantiated rumor
Considering Cult of Mac’s overall track record with predictions, PC World may be right in reminding us not to lose our heads. Yes, T-Mobile may have the accessible bandwidth for the customer load, as they presently have fewer subscribers than AT and T or Verizon, and yes, T-Mobile isn’t really fighting with Steve Jobs. Another plus on T-Mobile’s side is that Apple already works with its parent business (Deustche Telekom) in Europe.
Smartphone owners – would you make the jump to T-Mobile?
If T-Mobile does indeed enter a partnership with Apple, the pool won’t stay sparsely populated for long. Antenna issues aside, iPhone 4 remains wildly popular. It more than competes against Droid and other U.S. smartphones. But possibly you see it differently; let us know.
