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. Its profit in fiscal 3rd quarter 2010, per PC Magazine, was massive thanks to the iPad. Apple made $ 3.25 billion net profit on revenue of $ 15.7 billion. Nevertheless, there may be even more excitement in store for fans of the technology business. 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.

T-Mobile would become a player if iPhone 4 comes over

T-Mobile would surely rise to the top in the U.S. with iPhone 4. But PC World warns that there could possibly be frequency issues. As the carrier uses a non-standard band (1700/2100 MHz) and it is unknown whether the iPhone 4 will work at the lower end of T-Mobile’s frequency range, there could possibly be major reception issues.

Possibility of yet an additional iPhone 4 unsubstantiated rumor

PC World reminds us that Cult of Mac’s predictions don’t always stick, so don’t get too excited yet. Considering the network cap difficulties Apple has encountered with AT & T (and also the relative animosity Verizon has shown toward Steve Jobs and crew), it could possibly be that T-Mobile has the bandwidth to spare for iPhone users and an as-yet clean and clear relationship with Apple. Another plus on T-Mobile’s side is that Apple already works with its parent business (Deustche Telekom) in Europe.

Is T-Mobile your next carrier of choice?

Realistically, T-Mobile won’t have bandwidth to spare for long if Apple dives into their pool. Antenna issues aside, iPhone 4 remains wildly popular. It more than competes against Droid and other U.S. smartphones. But perhaps you see it differently; let us know.
