As the world prepares for the 4th generation of Apple iPhone, one of the big questions customers are wondering is, Which network will Apple decide to partner with?
According to this Phonesreview report, Verizon’s Ivan Seidenberg believes that their Verizon Wireless Network has a good chance of handling the new Apple iPhone 4G, thanks to new technology within their network.
The company may have made a mistake with Apple in the past, but they believe their 4G LTE network technology which GSM carriers such as AT&T and CDMA carrier Verizon are running, stands them in good stead for a possible deal with Apple.
Do you think the new iPhone will be available on AT&T or Verizon? Let us know your opinions and reasons why.

4G could refer to the service or eneration, iPhone, 3G, 3GS, and now 4G, just saying. Also I don’t think this would happen if the contract between Apple and AT&T exists. If anything this will cause AT&T to just put more time and effort into developing their own 4G network.
Nobody has thought to mention what would happen to all the people who switched over to AT&T to get an iPhone or those who upgraded for the newest phone and are locked into a 2year deal. Would apple abandon us and offer their new phone on a differen network where we’ll be subject to early-cancellation fees and credit-check requirements? I certainly hope not. For me AT&T works just fine. The 3gs is acceptably fast (and I’m very impatient), enough so that a small increase in speed hardly seems worth the headache. Allow AT&T some time to update their network abilities and leave it here.
I think you will see apple with verizon and sprint in the near future. Your customer base expands dramtically when opening up to these carriers. If I were AT&T i would work on the quality of the calls and expand the network.
i dunno whats gonna happen but i hope it goes 2 verizon
Shut up and just wait for the phone to come out you idiots !!
would be nice if it was 50 50, and Version worked… But second residence in Belfair Wa has no Verison. Jim
No way Apple allows Iphone to slip away from them. They will do or pay whatever it takes to extend the deal.

A good friend of mine works for ATT as a repairman. He came over a couple weeks ago to my apt. on the northside of Chicago. He took out his brand new 3Gs Iphone and asked me to take a look at it. It actually had 0 bars and said “NO SERVICE”! My Blackberry Storm had all bars glowing! He told me that even on the beach (which is ummmm, out in the open) his phone said “NO SERVICE”. At that moment, I was very happy to be a Verizon customer. He said that Verizon is actually goging to be coming out with the Iphone…but then he said “something like it”. I tried to get more out of him, but that was all I got. Since he works for ATT, I really want to believe him. I will wait in line for however long to get my new Verizon Iphone! Please, please please get the Iphone, Verizon!!! You will make so many people happy…even a few ATT repairmen!
I think that apple would make an incredible amount of money if; they just let the PEOPLE choose what carrier they want, some of us dont want att or verizon, some of us do. But ive had att tmobile and recently verizon. I can say that up to date, tmobile sucks, att is next and verizon is on top now.
