Apple protoype spotted with T-Mobile 3G signal

iphone-tmobile42311.jpg

A rumor fresh out of BGR suggests Apple is testing the iPhone for T-Mobile. A crystal clear image shows a white iPhone rocking a 3G signal from the wireless carrier. Since the current iPhone 4 does not support T-Mobile's 3G AWS 1700 MHz band, this is either a legitimate leak, a clever hack or some Photoshop magic.

The prototype model reportedly sport an internal model number of N94 which fits in with Apple's numbering scheme. The Verizon iPhone is N92, the GSM model is N90 and the iPhone 5 was thought to be N94. This does not mean the above handset is the iPhone 5. It may be a prototype used to test the performance of a 3G radio compatible with T-Mobile's network. It may also be a fake. It's not like that hasn't happened before.

Apple protoype spotted with T-Mobile 3G signal originally appeared on TUAW on Sat, 23 Apr 2011 20:02:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

It will be redundant anyway if AT&T gets federal approval to buy T-Mobile.

I believe everything I find on the interwebs. Since there is photo it can not be fake and must be true!

That purchase, even if OK'ed today, would take at minimum a year or two to have any effects for consumers.

So what if it's with Tmobile? Who ever said a prototype had to be locked anyways??? It's not like a consumer is using it!

Maybe it has something to do with the "global" nature that iPhone 5 is supposed to support. Could be more GSM frequencies instead of just the addition of CDMA.

Good call on that one.
