Apple is set to launch its new iPhones on all four top U.S. carriers at the same time, according to a Bloomberg report. This will be the first time T-Mobile gets the iPhone alongside its larger competitors.
AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which used to be the only iPhone carriers, are now in jeopardy of losing users to T-Mobile’s more flexible service plans in an already saturated U.S. wireless industry beset by slowing growth.
“It’s a much more even playing field than it was last year, when AT&T (T) had more of an advantage,” said Roger Entner an analyst at Recon Analytics in Dedham, Massachusetts. T-Mobile is “in the right place at the right time with the right product.”
Entner suggests that the low-cost 'iPhone 5C' may be an advantage for T-Mobile because the carrier does not require customers to sign a contract to get a discount on the handsets they offer.

You been with them many years but, for people who like me sign up tmobile recently. O man I been getting terrible services. i llove the fact they have unlimited lte and 4g and cheaper cost but, there customer serivce they treat new customer like crap. They seem to favor older customer then new customer. I had no choice to switch.

New & improved? How? Different colors? A bit faster processor? A little bit better camera? Duh! If not, there shouldn't be a 5S. Let see what they got tomorrow.
