AppleInsider reports that T-Mobile has notified customers that it has decided to discontinue its Free Data for Life tier for new 4G iPad activations. Don’t worry if you are currently on the plan, though, as you will still continue to get your free allowance, although this is attached to each specific device, so if you upgrade to a new iPad you won’t get the free data.
T-Mobile’s One unlimited tier lets you add a tablet for $20 per month in addition to the $75 per month iPhone contract.
AppleInsider speculates that T-Mobile discontinuing its Free Data for Life promotion could be another hint that Apple is about to announce a refresh of the iPad Pro line with an upgraded 12.9-inch model and a brand new 10.5-inch model. Another sign of an imminent announcement is the fact that it is harder and harder to find stock of the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro model. New orders are not now expected to ship until May 22 to May 39, which could possibly be the on-sale date of the new iPads.
