So you are saying that Apple will break tradition just to release a phone in February with more storage space?
Ummm, no.
Well, it wouldn't be breaking any tradition, considering that Apple has built itself out of spontaneity and secrecy. Furthermore, there are still rumors circling about Verizon getting the iPhone in January or February when Verizon launches their new LTE network.
Let me tell you why this makes so much sense!
1. Apple released the iPhone weeks before they did the previous years for AT&T to "hook" more people into a 2-year contract? Why would AT&T push up their upgrade dates for people who are already close, all they had to do was wait a few months? Did they do this out of the kindness of their hearts? NO! Business is business, AT&T is bracing for a hard hit! And Verizon would be the one to give them that hit! I've already said that I will leave T-Mobile, and switch to Verizon when they get the iPhone, and they will trust me!
2. Why is there yet ANOTHER 32GB iPhone version and not a 64GB? It's because Apple must be saving that 64GB version for a higher bidder... i.e (Verizon paid them to save the 64GB, just as AT&T paid Apple for an early release)
3. People keep saying "oh Verizon will never get it, because they're CDMA, and that is old technology and GSM is the way to go" Blah blah blah! Well I have news Verizon is launching their LTE network next year, and 4 devices will be offered that support LTE.
Your question well does that mean that people on ATT just lose their iPhones? No, AT&T will maintain their contract with Apple, but no one REALLY knows the extent of ATT's exclusivity contract.
With Apple, there is no "tradition" it's all business! Business will NEVER EVER be predictable or traditional. It will always have wild and quick unpredictable twists and turns. Apple is advancing faster than ever, because of their newly updated products, and their "Fort Knox" like security on their secret releases. People can specualte (like me) all they want, but what happens, no one will ever see coming!
Did anyone see the iPhone 4 32GB? No! They saw an iPhone 4 64GB!
Did anyone see an iPhone STAYING on ATT and NOT moving or at least branching to Verizon?
NO! They saw a Verizon getting the iPhone 4 on their out-dated CDMA network, that would make NO sense in making an iPhone CDMA because it would be useless when Verizon shuts down CDMA for good, and runs completely and solely on LTE.
There will always be speculation, but until you know for sure, don't worry. If your phone works fine, and you're "dealing" with its ever-so-slow outdatedness or are tired of it, but you can still "deal" with it for a little while longer then do so! I am waiting until this new Verizon thing comes to fruition, because I am NOT moving to ATT.
T-Mobile has been in plans to purchase Sprint for a few years now, either a merge or a purchase will eventually take place, but not until LTE is launched and is stabilized. Verizon will be the first to launch, and eventually when T-Mobile moves to LTE they will end up merging or purchasing Sprint and making one huge monster to contend with ATT and Verizon. They are already HUGE in Europe... I sense a DT Cell service world domination! haha!
Also, I may be wrong and that is fine, I am not saying that I am right, I just figured since everyone else is speculating that I would too, but with my own personal spin on it.
