T-Mobile has issued a statement to clarify remarks made by chief technical officer Neville Ray to CNET that implied that the next Apple iPhone would use a chipset that offered support for the AWS spectrum used in T-Mobile's 3G network. The carrier is now saying that the comments were meant to imply that such chipsets are now available to Apple, should the company choose to make use of them: "Comments made by T-Mobile's CTO, Neville Ray, regarding the evolution of chipsets to include additional bands were misconstrued. Mr. Ray was speaking generally to chipset advancements available to all phone manufacturers. T-Mobile has no knowledge of Apple's product roadmap and our position on the iPhone has not changed."
