The iPhone 4 antenna issue may not warrant a recall in Apple's estimation, but that is not because they're too scared of the cost of such action. Its profit in fiscal third quarter 2010, per PC Magazine, was massive thanks to the iPad. Apple took away a $ 3.25 billion profit after raking in a total of $ 15.7 billion for the quarter. Never one to rest on its laurels, Apple may be making more exciting news very soon. Cult of Mac insists they have a "highly placed source" that has leaked that T-Mobile will start selling iPhone 4 by Q3 2010. The team-up is 80 percent likely, writes PC World.

T-Mobile and iPhone 4 would be a powerful combo

T-Mobile would surely rise to the top in the U.S. with iPhone 4. Frequency issues could get within the way, indicates PC World. T-Mobile's band is different than other U.S. carriers, and iPhone 4 hasn't been proven to work within their full range.

Possibly this should go in the iPhone 4 rumor discard pile

Considering Cult of Mac's overall track record with predictions, PC World may be right in reminding us not to lose our heads. Yes, T-Mobile may have the accessible bandwidth for the customer load, as they at the moment have fewer subscribers than AT & T or Verizon, and yes, T-Mobile isn't really fighting with Steve Jobs. Another plus on T-Mobile's side is that Apple already works with its parent company (Deustche Telekom) in Europe.

Are you ready for the T-Mobile jump?

It should be noted that when T-Mobile may not have the network issues of an AT & T at this point, snaring iPhone 4 would likely change their set of circumstances quickly. Even with antenna issues, iPhone 4 is quite attractive to tech buyers. Legions of devoted fans have kept iPhone 4 standing toe-to-toe with Droid and America's top smartphones. But maybe you see it differently; let us know.
