As for how T-Mobile will handle Friday morning, we’re being told it will be similar to any other high-traffic event they’ve experienced in the past. Customers will receive tickets for available inventory on a first-come-first-serve basis. There’s no word on how many iPhone units stores will receive, but the tickets will certainly match up to available inventory likely requiring the customer to stick around and purchase without leaving to come back.The carrier will be featuring a new way to purchase the iPhone. Instead of buying a subsidized handset, consumers can snag a 16GB iPhone 5 for only an upfront payment of $99.99. But the catch is that the rest of the phone’s cost must be paid off in 24 monthly installments of $20. Plans run as low as $50 a month for 500MB of data. Apple Stores will also be selling T-Mobile iPhones starting on Friday.
