With the launch of the iPhone 4S, T-Mobile USA is now the only one of the four major U.S. carriers to not offer the iPhone , due in large part to the carrier’s use of the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum band for its 3G network, a situation that so far would require Apple to develop specific hardware compatible with the network. Some had hoped that the situation would be rectified over time by AT&T’s planned acquisition of T-Mobile, but that deal has fallen apart in the face of scrutiny from regulators.
