Does This Mean Verizon Is Losing the iPhone?

[DannyMichel]

The only reason i'm with Verizon is because they have the iPhone and I can't go to AT&T.
This news gives me a bad feeling in my gut!

No, it doesn't mean Verizon is losing the iPhone. It's just crap that bloggers throw on the wall to see what sticks.

Last figures I saw showed the iPhone as being Verizon's top seller since it came out. They're not stupid enough to drop a piece of hardware that people want, and will crawl on their knees through broken glass to buy the next one, some of them even if they have to pay full retail for it.

Quit reading all the crap and falling for the manufactured drama.

Um, you do realize that link is to the website we are currently on right?
are you suggesting that i stop reading what's on tipb?

[edit] Also I'm not talking about Verizon dropping the iPhone; I'm talking apple dropping Verizon after this

reread my last sentence above, and pay particular attention to the part after "and".

9 to 5 Mac just posted an interesting article about the amicus motion. It is best in a business sense if Apple and VZW work together. Apple sales don't bring Verizon all of its revenue. It's relationship with Samsung is equally as important as Apple.

I'm assuming that it's just a bunch of smoke. I love Verizon, but I love the iPhone more. If Verizon looses the iPhone I will be leaving Verizon and taking all 7 lines with me.

I was surprised to see Verizon make comment at all. Sometimes it's just better to stay neautral.

Interesting. Clans in the future battle are forming. Add to the mix the trouble Patent Trolls are stirring up and there could be a real knock-down-drag-out before the dust settles. All for the tiny sliver of extra profit from the pie.

Wouldn't be very financially smart for Verizon to drop the current or future iPhones. Like JSN mentioned, I'm surprised they are picking sides. Then again it's Verizon so who the hell knows what they are thinking.

Unlikely. Come back with something more than manufactured drama and speculation based on vapors.
