Apple’s new iPhone may be forced with Verizon within 2 years

Apple’s new iPhone may be forced with Verizon within 2 years

By: Peter Chubb | May 7, 2009 | 6 Comments

We have mentioned on a number of occasions that Apple is content on allowing AT&T to have exclusivity on the iPhone. But Apple Insider have been taking a closer look at the dead-end growth of the Apple iPhone, and the fact that Apple might have little choice but to look to Verizon within the next 2 years.

Citigroup has done some research, and it has pointed out that the Apple iPhone could about to hit a wall in terms of its growth, and it says that not even the iPhone will be able to save AT&T from this fate. Over the last quarter, Apple have managed to save AT&T, but as the American wireless industry looks set to grow by just 1 to 3 percent per year, things certainly look bleak.

Apple might need to change some of its tactics if it wishes to keep having success with its iPhone. Apple until now have been happy with AT&T, Apple might be forced to looking to Verizon, as the potential for more customers elsewhere might be too hard for Apple to resist.

    The iphone seems to be seriously lagging behind much of the competition in the camera and video department.

    Come on iphone, when are you going to include an 8megapixel camera that can also take videos in your lovely phone?

    As soon as you do I will definitely be owning one!

    even though most cameras’ quality goes up with the number of megapixels, that doesn’t mean that more megapixels means better pictures. A crappy camera with 10 megapixels is the same as a crappy camera with 3 megapixels, but with bigger pictures

    Love the I phone. You go build one if you gotta problem with It you losers. Stay wit AT&T let the verizon babies cry about it and make more rumors it’s funny.

    I have Verizon which has the best reception but want an Iphone as well. ATT is not as good as Verizon reception. Would love to have both.

    What are you going to do with a 8 megapixel camera phone? Do really need to have an 8 megapixel pictures of your friends doing bong loads and keg stands?

    Apple MUST know that Verizon cutomers are waiting for the iPhone! I want one so bad, but I'm not willing to switch to AT&T. I don't see what the big controversy is! Their contract is up. Share the iPhone with other wireless carriers!
