Bad News for T-Mobile and it's Customers !

Apple announced the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus today. They're all incredible phones from numerous points of view, yet they have one deadly defect for T-Mobile and its customers: No support for T-Mobile's new LTE network. 



At this moment, T-Mobile is in the early stages of rolling out new 600MHz system across the country. The principal destinations are as of now on the web, and T-Mobile is hoping to cover a million square miles before the finish of 2017. Be that as it may, the 600MHz network utilizes a brand new LTE channel, Band 71, and not very many gadgets support it yet. Unfortunately for T-Mobile, you can't include the iPhone 8 or iPhone X to that rundown. 

The specs page for the iPhone X affirms that it supports all the standard North American LTE bands, however not Band 71. In any case you outline this current, it's a blow for T-Mobile. The iPhone X is generally anticipated that would spark an upgrade"super-cycle" that will see individuals on the iPhone 6 and 6S spring for the update, since they're purchasing a phone that they hope to keep going for quite a long time. That phone — anticipated that would keep going for no less than two years — won't be compatible with the LTE band that T-Mobile is hoping to be the foundation of its system going advances. 


Compatibility with 600MHz will turn into a big deal for T-Mobile customers, assuming you like really utilizing your phone when you're out and about. Lower frequencies travel further and penetrate structures better, which all indicates prevalent scope, particularly inside structures or in country zones. Verizon has depended heavily on its 700MHz spectrum for quite a long time, and it's a major piece of the reason it continues winning coverage awards. T-Mobile's 600MHz network guarantees to be similarly as good or better, yet you can just exploit it if your phone is compatible. 600MHz compatibility is only going to get more essential over the long haul. T-Mobile is anticipating having 600MHz coverage more than 1,000,000 square miles before the current year's over, and before the finish of 2018, it will have a major influence in its national covergae — unless you have an iPhone X. 

There's no doubt as far as I can say that T-Mobile needed the iPhone X to support Band 71. CTO Neville Ray disclosed a month ago that T-Mobile is putting "as much, if not more effort into devices than the network" — and that is a big statement, since T-Mobile is working hard on rolling out 600MHz. But T-Mobile only secured the 600MHz licenses in an auction early this year, which likely wasn't sufficient lead time to build band 71 with the iPhone X's modem. 

Yet, whichever way you cut it, this isn't incredible news for T-Mobile. It's going into 2018 with only one flagship phone with B71 support, and that is the LG V30, which is the most niche phone that I'd consider a typical flagship. The Galaxy S9 will have B71 support, yet we'll be sitting tight until one year from now for an Apple phone that incorporates it. More regrettable, any individual who purchases an iPhone at this moment and needs to switch in a half year won't have the advantage of T-Mobile's full LTE network. That is not going to do much for T-Mobile's PR campaign to have the best system. 

In short: in case you're purchasing an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, you most likely shouldn't go with T-Mobile. , I'd go for a lease, instead of purchasing the phone on an installment plan. That way, when the iPhone X2 appears one year from now, you'll have the capacity to escape.
