The issue of cellphone unlocking has been at the heart of a heated debate that involves the users, the wireless carriers and the White House.

An internal memo obtained by TmoNews appears to justify T-Mobile’s plans of slashing the “Apple iPhone” branding from its BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) campaign that launched last month.

Apple’s new iPhone 5 is riddled with an unusually large number of problems.

Without Nano-SIM, no user can use iPhone 5. So, T-Mobile is taking preparation to bring Nano-SIM for those customers who are using its network on earlier generation iPhone or on other phone, but now would like to use iPhone 5 on the same network.

Apple is such a company who always think different, but in a new style. Nano SIM tech is the best example of its thinking. However, Apple’s products are not that much easy to imitate for accessory makers or developers, unless Apple reveals/shares secrets of its products. Recently, Apple has published full iPhone 5 schemes, schematics and blueprints on its website for them.
