T-Mobile sells 500,000 iPhone 5 smartphones In 1 Month
By Brett Molina
Wireless carrier T-Mobile says it has sold 500,000 iPhone 5 smartphones since the device became available through their service last month.
The company did not specify how many of those iPhones were sold to new customers versus existing ones.
T-Mobile became the last major carrier without access to Apple’s smartphone on April 12, carrying the iPhone 5 as well as the older iPhone 4 and 4S models.
The devices were among the first under T-Mobile’s new "no contract" plans, where consumers can purchase a smartphone for full price paid over monthly installments. For example, the iPhone 5 sells for $100 down, and $20 a month for 24 months.
