T-Mobile remains as the last of the four major U.S. wireless carriers that doesn’t offer the iPhone, largely because the iPhone doen’t support their non-standard AWS spectrum for the carrier’s 3G network. But according to T-Mobile USA CEO Philipp Humm, that may be about to change.

AllThingsD reports on comments from Humm claiming that the issues preventing T-Mobile from carrying the iPhone will be addressed by both AWS support on future mobile chipsets, and a change in T-Mobile’s spectrum.

In addition, CNET reports that T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray claims that the iPhone’s next chipset will support AWS, making it possible for T-Mobile to officially offer Apple’s popular smartphone.
