After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Well I went to Verizon and couldn't resist, I got the iPhone4!
I love it!

I loved the home screen on the Inc! That clock with the weather is too good lol. But how is the iPhone camera better? Inc is 8mp and the iPhone is 5? I've rooted my droid so jailbreaking shouldn't be that hard for me. So you don't regret switching then?
From what I hear Im being told that the iPhone 5 will not be out this summer. Im being told that VZ is going to be a model behind ATT.
As for me getting the iPhone4 I was told that if I didnt use my $100 credit for the new every 2 program they had I would end up losing it so I made the jump and got the iPhone4. To be honest with you Im loving it!
That's one reason why I went ahead and purchased the iPhone 4....loss of my NE2 credit and also losing out on unlimited data.
Of course these could just be marketing ploys by the Big Red to get you to spend money.

I highly doubt that Verizon is going to be behind AT&T for any new iphone releases. I don't think Verizon would accept those terms and Apple no longer has a contract with AT&T so it wouldn't make sense for them to give them first dibs on new devices. This isn't like BB where they can release one crummy device on one carrier and give another carrier the same basic crummy device in a different shell. Apple has one phone, and Apple is all about cutting production costs. I would bet good money that the next iphone will be made to work on either carrier and done in one production cycle. We may not even see an iphone5 this summer. It might just be something simple like a white iphone.
There is no way that Verizon will skip a generation if AT&T gets it. Apple is a company with followers that are so loyal that if Steve Jobs announced he was going to start farting in jars and selling it people would be lining up around the block to buy it. If AT&T got a new device before Verizon many of those followers would switch carriers to get the device on launch day. It would put Verizon at a huge competitive disadvantage and they probably never would have picked up the iphone. They went 3 years without it and survived. Also if AT&T were to get new releases before Verizon that would be in a contract and AT&T would be using that advantage in advertising to try and stop people from jumping to Verizon.
All of these factors, IMHO, point to no major revisions to the iphone this summer. I think we will see a software update, maybe a new chip, a white iphone, and a low cost version. The iphone4 was a major redesign and is still considered by many to be the best smartphone on the market. Once LTE gains steam then we probably will see a true iphone5 enter the market that supports 4G.
I don't see any feature the iPhone 4 doesn't have now that I want in the next version. So I didn't see a point to wait.
