T-Mobile Adding iPhone 6 to 'Test Drive' Program

Back in June, T-Mobile announced its new 'Test Drive' program at the Uncarrier 5.0 event. The program allows customers to initially borrow an iPhone for free and test out T-Mobile's network for a week.

According to a T-Mobile spokesperson, the carrier will be updating all of its current iPhone test devices to iOS 8 as soon as it's released to the public, as well as adding the iPhone 6 into the program.

"We don’t have a definitive timeline, but we do intend to switch over in future," the spokesperson told Re/Code. “There are a variety of factors that affect that timeline, (including) product availability.”

This is good news for current Android owners, folks iffy about the new iPhone 6, or those wanting to try out a different carrier. T-Mobile's 'Test Drive' program places a $750 hold on the customer's credit card and will charge $100 for any damage to the device.
