With the $99 down, the T-Mobile subscriber will have to pay $22.91 per month for the next two years.
"If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on phone becomes due," noted T-Mobile.
The carrier is also touting the exclusive deal to get the iPhone 5s with no annual contract or overages for the device that is listed at retail for $649.
The 32GB model of the iPhone 5s will increase the upfront price to $199 and $299 for the 64GB variant. The $22.91 monthly payment seen with the 16GB iPhone 5s will remain the same for the 32GB and 64GB models.
According to T-Mobile, the "limited time only" deal expires on Nov. 15 and is a web-only deal.
After selecting the GB model and color, the T-Mobile subscriber will choose a data plan that ranges from $50, $60, and $70 per month, but each features unlimited talk, text, and web access.
With the online purchase, T-Mobile removes the $35 activation fee due to the addition of the Simple Choice (data) Plan.
The iPhone 5s' features are similar to the current iPhone 5, starting with the same 4-inch Retina Display. The rear-facing camera maintains the 8-megapixels, but it has a larger f/2.2 aperture with the aim of improving low-light photography. When it comes to wireless connectivity, the iPhone 5s also connects to Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth version 4.0.The iPhone 5s utilizes the A7 processor chip with 64-bit architecture, which plays a critical role with the Touch ID. The new Apple smartphone will come automatically installed with the new iOS 7 mobile operating system. The battery of the iPhone 5s provides 10 hours of talk time under a 3G network and 250 hours on standby. The iPhone 5s will be available in the traditional black and white models, but also a gold variant as well.
