T-Mobile's Popular $0 Down Promotion For iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 Is No More

T-Mobile has recently announced that from today, its popular $0 down promotion for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 is no more.
The deal, which first launched back in late July, allowed prospective smartphone customers to grab Apple's fifth- and sixth-generation iPhone handsets for no downpayment, and with monthly payments starting at around $25. However, from today (Saturday, Aug. 10, 2013), customers with the No. 4 U.S. carrier will have to purchase the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 for a downpayment of up to $145, with 24 monthly payments of $21.
Apple's iPhone 4, however, along with other smartphones, will still be available for $0 down. AllThingsD explains:
T-Mobile confirmed to AllThingsD that, starting Saturday, neither device will be available as part of that promotion. (The iPhone 4 will still be available for no money down.)One T-Mobile spokesperson reportedly said: "As is the nature of promotions, pricing moves are temporary." This is, of course, bad news for anyone who'd been planning on signing-up for either an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 with the carrier. However, there is hope. This weekend only, Best Buy is offering customers a number of appealing iPhone deals. If you don't care to wait for Apple's "iPhone 5S" handset (or even the budget "iPhone 5C"), be sure to check out our recent article.
