Verizon Media Event Scheduled for January 11th: iPhone Announcement?

This is good for ALL of us.

I have an iPhone 4 of course on ATT.

When this comes out on Verizon... ATT will HAVE to upgrade their network even more. So they don't lose a glut of customers to Verizon.

Good stuff.

There's not going to be a mass exodus to Verizon. AT&T wouldn't have 93 million customers if their network was as bad as the few people who take to the internet to complain when their data speeds dip below 1mbps claim it is. And if there were a mass exodus, Verizon's network wouldn't be able to cope and would have problems, and AT&T's network would improve greatly.

I still don't think att people will run to verizon. If you own an iphone now, it's because your coverage is good enough as is. Why buy a phone that doesn't work very well as a phone? I think they will pick up the current verizon users that have been waiting, people like me that don't have the coverage on att. Plus the etf that all the carriers have. Did the early upgrades that were allowed last year start a 'new' 2 years? or did it add 2 years to the current (meaning 2.5 years). I never saw a mention but I guess just a fresh 2 years.

Because people are stupid apparently.. I know a large amount of people who has the iphone with AT&T just itching to get out once Verizon starts selling the iphone.

Well, they won't lose me. Even *IF* I travel to Germany once a year, it's so darned easy to just call AT&T and have them update my account for world travel status, instead of:

1. Having Verizon (crappy in any instance)
2. Going to the store to rent one of their crappy world phones
3. Go over the hassle of dealing with Verizon CS reps to go over the plan
4. Have them mess it up anyway and not be able to make emergency calls in Germany.

No thanks, you can keep Verizon. Like Obama's former preacher said, "G*dd*amn Verizon!"

And how will this impact apps (ie NFL) that have been VZW exclusives? Will those come into the App store now, but only available for VZW customers?

I would guess so. The DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket app is only functional for ST subscribers (technically those who subscribe to the app, but DTV threw that in this year for most ST subs on request). It would be a nice differentiation between ATT and VZW.
 
Didn't I hear something about Apple having an event this Tueday(1-11-11) at 10am?

So that would mean Apple announces it first anyway(1 hour earlier)--and then verizon tag teams and explains the plan.

What the hell will we post about after the Verizon iPhone comes to APPL town? Oh, I know, how Verizon sucks...I mean now we will have two carriers to hate.

This is the MacRumors nirvana! Double your hate, double your postings. I see some members (you know who you are) keeping their AT@T service AND getting a Verizon phone so they can complain, moan, bitch and otherwise wax poetic on this site in stereo!

Forget about war, declining housing values, Obama, Congress and whatever we have reached our goal......
 
I'm still surprised over the hatred of verizon getting the iphone (if they do). If you have att and it works for you ... why care? The more they sell, the more developers they attract to make cool apps, the lower the cost so apple can sell them for less and the people that wanted one but live in att bad spot get to join in. I see no problem at all.

I'm with you dude. Really don't get why some on here are so pro AT&T and anti-VZW. Do you peeps work for AT&T or something? Makes no sense to me, who cares what Carriers are added? It only benefits the ENTIRE iPhone ecosystem on the whole.

Uh no. The Verizon announcement is at 11am Eastern Time which makes it 8am Pacific. Apple events are usually at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern.

phooey. I'm so stuck on eastern time here. My brain is useless after a days work.

I still wonder why I had it in my mind before this verizon announcement that Apple was doing some sort of event on the 11th.
 
Red dawn 1/11/11

1/11/11
1/11/11
1/11/11
1/11/11
1/11/11
Red Dawn coming. Can you see it?

I saved a list of all the "No Way Verizon" posters for the last few months. The list is going to Wikileaks. You will be exposed!!
 
I've been waiting a long time for a Verizon iPhone. If it comes out, I'll replace my Verizon LG w/keyboard with the iPhone, as soon as I can.
 
Hahahahahhahahahahhahahahaha........

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

This is to all the suckers who thought Verizon Iphone was a myth. It is coming on 11th on the big red.

'The best phone with the best Network'.

I am filled with joy, finally i can get rid of my droid...
 
I feel like doing the same thing as you but you should actually wait until the 11th to make sure it's not something else.

You've waited this long, whats a few more days to confirm it? Then let the face rubbing begin.

The Verizon Wireless website is currently showing Apple iOS as a filter option under smartphones- (although it is greyed out at the moment).

That's for the iPad, if you switch categories of devices you'll see it become available for selection.
 
Heh...the perfect example of a troll..good job :D

Slightly refreshed model with antenna improvements, the CDMA chip and some other unnoticeable hardware and software changes. Also some exclusive Verizon only Apps.

And the name of this iPhone model will be separate from the 3GS and 4.
This model will be called iPhone 4Z (4Z in a similar fashion to the 3GS logo)
or maybes iPhone 4V?
Just my predictions.

Because some people here think AT&T is some sort of Apple division or has some sort of special relationship with them. Basically if you talk bad about AT&T then you are talking bad about Apple.
