The “Verizon iPhone” Versus “The iPhone On Verizon’s Network”
The “Verizon iPhone” Versus “The iPhone On Verizon’s Network”
A very good read. And it makes me think that CDMA Vs GSM is not the issue why Verizon never got the iphone. As the article suggests Verizon probably wanted their apps on the iphone and their OS on the iphone and their app store so they can make the profits from it. And Apple rightfully so told them to jump in the lake. Proof of this is all the crapware on other Verizon smartphones when you purchase them.
Will Verizon ever allow the iphone to be in their network with Apple and not themselves in control of the OS and appstore? I don't know. If I was Verizon I'd be letting Apple know we will do anything to have the iphone. As there is a gold mine if users just waiting to switch from AT&T.
If Verizon asked for a Verizon Appstore and Verizon OS on the iphone when Apple initially pitched the product to them then Verizon are idiots and I'm glad Apple told them to jump in the lake. Apple know how to make a good OS, a good UI and a good customer experience on the product. Verizon just let Apple do all of that and you'll get your iphone. If not and you want to be on your fat high horse then we'll never see an iphone officially on the Verizon network.
