Back in August, T-Mobile CEO John Legere hinted in an interview that T-Mobile would soon be carrying a “whole array of Apple products”, with the company expanding their offerings of devices from Apple.
Today, in a tweet linking to a story about Apple’s upcoming media event on October 22, T-Mobile CEO John Legere writes:
What has two thumbs and is excited for October 22? #thisguy
The tweet may be the CEO’s cryptic way of hinting that next-generation cellular iPads may soon be available from Apple and T-Mobile stores preloaded with T-Mobile SIM cards and optimized for the carrier’s LTE bands.
Of course, T-Mobile customers have long been able to put SIM cards from the carrier into iPads as Apple’s cellular-equipped tablets are not carrier-locked, but being able to purchase them with a T-Mobile SIM already installed will be an added convenience.
AT&T, Sprint and Verizon already offer cellular-equipped iPads at their retail stores and Apple’s various retail outlets.
