As T-Mobile begins their push for the iPhone 5 as they finally have the device available for sale directly, they’ve created a trade-in offer where you’ll toss them your old iPhone for a deal. When you do trade in your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S (no other device will do) right up until June 16th (Father’s Day), you’ll get a $0 down deal on the iPhone 5 – plus monthly payments. This will knock out $99.99 USD from your final bill – and you’ve got the potential to knock out a whole lot more than that!
T-Mobile has been making big changes lately, moving to rebrand itself as the "Uncarrier" and to do things in a way that is different from its competitors. It has made good on all that talk, revealing a trade-in deal for current iPhone owners: trade-in an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S and receive the iPhone 5 for $0. The special is in effect until June 16.

Ken Segall, who worked as a creative director at Apple's ad agency, TBWA/Chiat/Day, and later as a consultant to Apple until 2008, has given his two cents on Apple's strange naming system for its iOS devices.
