T-Mobile only recently started selling the iPhone, and it has proven to be a very good thing for the struggling carrier. By marketing itself as the hip “Un-Carrier” that charges less up front, T-Mobile is starting to see better days.
After the company reported healthy growth in its quarterly earnings report today, CEO John Legere made some comments about T-Mobile’s relationship with Apple. He said the carrier looks forward to carrying a “whole array” of Apple products in the future, hinting at more than just the iPhone. Could the iPad be next for T-Mobile after Apple announces new devices this fall?
In an interview with AllThingsD, Legere said that iPhone sales are a “healthy percentage” of T-Mobile’s sales. The iPhone accounted for nearly a quarter of the company’s sales last quarter alone. Then he said the following:
I think there’s a whole array of Apple products that we look forward to carrying. We will expand what we offer from them.
While he didn’t give an exact timetable, it’s very probable that we’ll see more from Apple on T-Mobile come this fall.
Apple is rumored to unveil the iPhone 5S, budget iPhone 5C, and possibly two new iPads within the next few months. It will be the perfect storm for T-Mobile to expand its budding lineup.
