I wonder if Apple will give Verizon customers who got the iPhone 4 in February a crack at the new iPhone next month at the subsidized price like they did with the ATT in June 2010. You guys think there is a chance it will happen?
 
Apple doesn't have a say in weather or not iPhone 4 owners get to upgrade the the subsidized price, only the carrier does.

This decision is up-to Verizon, not Apple.
 
To be honest that is completely up to Verizon, and has nothing to do with Apple directly. At this point the iPhone 4 hasn't even been out for Verizon more than a year, so I doubt this would happen...

Everyone who bought an iPhone 4 for Verizonx should have known an new iPhone would be coming out later that year....
 
I don't see why carriers don't allow a full upgrade yearly.

They would've made their money back by then and you get to lock the customer in longer.

I know that. Apple & Verizon definitely would get another sale from me. Especially if the new iPhone has 4G but I doubt that will happen.
 
Verizon is a stickler for contracts. Good luck trying to get an early upgrade on an iPhone.
