Rumor: Apple in "serious" talks to bring iPhone to T-Mobile this fall

Cult of Mac reports that Apple is in serious talks to bring iPhone to T-Mobile this fall, possibly as early as September.

Cult of Mac quotes a source saying the deal is 80 percent likely. This rumor is interesting because unlike Verizon -- the popular iPhone is coming rumor company -- T-Mobile uses a network chip similar to the one used at AT&T. Unlocked iPhones have run on T-Mobile's network, with slower data speeds, for a long time.

Rumors persist of Verizon and Apple joining forces in January, but a T-Mobile move might be easier.

For the consumer, a move would be good. T-Mobile has cheaper plans than AT&T and any iPhone carrier choice would make AT&T react with better pricing.

T-mobile is awesome! Prices and service are great. Verizon is a rip-off.

AT&T and T-Mobile have terrible service and way over priced. Verizon is the best wireless provider and the i-phone cannot touch the droid incredible

Reason why T-mobile is so cheap is because of its lowsy service and they can't compare to verizon. Verizon has the much better technology advancements and is able to put there money into the advancements.
