Even though T-Mobile does not officially carry the iPhone, the carrier has more than a million owners of the (unlocked) iDevice on its network, which would definitely justify expanding its support for it. A leaked employee memo from the carrier, entitled “iPhone Scope of Support” (pictured above), details that they plan to implement this support expansion on January 30th.

According to an AT&T employee, the carrier will soon be making an offer to customers that some may find quite strange. AT&T will be offering higher data caps (allowing more mobile data usage) for only $5 extra per month. This is quite significant because of the relatively small price increase compared to the larger data increase, giving customers better value for their money.

Steve Jobs revolutionized the cellphone industry with the release of the iPhone in 2007. But according to comments made by John Stanton, Jobs originally wanted to change the entire idea of the how world interacts with mobile carriers. At the Law Seminars International event in Seattle this week, operator chief turned venture capitalist John Stanton stated that Apple was exploring alternatives for creating a network by only using Wi-Fi-based spectrum as a way to bypass carriers with their mobile plans. That idea was discussed when Stanton worked with Steve Jobs from 2005 to 2007. At that time, Mr Stanton was heading VoiceStream Wireless, now known as T-Mobile.

Apple has started selling the iPhone 4S without any contract commitments. The iPhone 4S unlocked models will cost $649 (16GB model), $749 (32GB model), and $849 (64GB model). Orders can be placed through Apple’s online store, and all models will start shipping within one to two weeks, according to estimates by Apple. As usual, Apple offers customers the choice to buy the iPhone 4S in either black or white.

As you all know, Apple announced it will be making the iPhone 4S available in 22 more countries starting October 28. Checking the Apple online store in Singapore today, I noticed the pre-order button is now activated. I immediately pre-ordered a white iPhone 4S and lo and behold!, my order went through. The Apple online store in Singapore promises to deliver it in 1-2 weeks.

Apple was happy to let you know yesterday that there 1 million iPhone 4Ss pre-ordered in one day, and AT&T is doing some boasting of their own. They released a statement on Saturday that they sold more that 200,000 units in just simply 12 hours. This, despite the somewhat lackluster public reception to the official Apple announcement of the iPhone 4S last week.

Rumors were claiming Sprint would bring unlimited data plans to the iPhone, and it turned out to be completely true. The company announced late last week that the iPhone 4S (as well as the iPhone 4) will be included on their unlimited data plans for all new users who sign a two-year contract. This gives Sprint at least one marketing advantage over its rivals, since AT&T and Verizon started controlling users data limits with their tiered-data plans of 2GB.

iPhone 4S shipping estimates have dropped to 1-2 weeks, indicating that new pre-orders won’t be received by customers on launch day. Apple and its three iPhone carriers have been getting hammered with pre-orders, causing overloaded servers and even issues with pre-ordering altogether for some customers, which is most likely what has caused this change in shipping estimates.

This news from iPhone carrier AT&T came in the form of an iPhone 4S Training Session document that has been hitting the email inboxes of AT&T representatives today. This document reveals that AT&T stores will be strictly allowing only one iPhone 4S per customer on launch day. This only applies to AT&T stores, and could differ with Apple, Verizon, and Sprint.

Today is iPhone 4S day, folks. After a few hours of downtime, the U.S. Apple Store are now accepting pre-orders. All three versions of the iPhone 4S from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon are available for pre-order and will be shipped on October 12. Now, here’s something that came as quite a surprise; Apple is also giving an option for customers to get the unlocked version of the iPhone 4S this November.
