T-Mobile is making it a little bit more affordable to buy an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy S4.
Certain Apple and Samsung products will drop down to no money down at T-Mobile starting Wednesday, the company said today.

An iPhone 5S will go for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $27, while the the iPhone 5C is $0 down and 24 payments of $22.91. A Galaxy S4 can be had for 24 monthly payments of $29.50.
The same offer applies to the iPad Air and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.

While T-Mobile is easing the upfront payment, customers still end up paying the same amount, as the difference is spread across the monthly device payments over two years. Customers still have to meet certain credit requirements to qualify for these plans.
