A week’s time should be plenty for T-Mobile to gear up for an iPhone 5 release.
Deutsche Telekom, the German parent company to T-Mobile USA has already begun accepting pre-orders for the next generation iPhone.
This could imply that T-Mobile will be carrying the iPhone and joining other networks such as Sprint, Verizon and the iPhone’s original carrier AT&T.
TmoNews claims it has possible evidence that Apple will be announcing the iPhone 5 in about two weeks time.
The site received many emails which reveal this information along with confirming the T-Mobile event.
The iPhone 5 is not supposed to hit stores until October so this is most likely not an iPhone release event, according to 9to5 Mac.
There is also the possibility of T-Mobile promoting other devices on this day such as Samsung’s Galaxy S II or another non-Apple related marketing and sales plan.
Apple is supposed to hold a media event this month which may occur earlier in the same week as T-Mobile’s.
Device manufacturer Foxxconn has reported that it is already producing the next generation Apple smartphone at a rate of 150,000 iPhone 5s a day.
The rumors of T-Mobile carrying the new iPhone started late last month, shortly after Sprint had confirmed that it would be selling it.
If T-Mobile acquires the iPhone, than all four major U.S. network service providers will carry, what is arguable the world’s most popular smartphone.
