Would a Verizon iPhone make sense today?

[Tigercat212]

I was thinking about this earlier, and I realized that back in 2007, the iPhone was announced in January, and released in June. That's a 6 month time span. Now we're in July, and there's rumors of the Verizon iPhone being released in January of next year, which is, yep, six months from now. It would be pretty coincidental, and I know they'll address the antenna problem, but I'm staying positive.

Although, I can't see Steve Jobs talking about fixing the problem and then saying, "And now we're releasing the iPhone 4 to tens of millions of Verizon customers." Seems very un-Jobs like, and kinda silly, to be honest.

What does everyone else think?

I think I'm sick of repeat Verizon threads.

 

[willski]

highly doubt it. if it were coming to verizon it would probably be announced at WWDC.

 

[noobinator]

In a word

No

 

[stahl7639]

No.

Amen

 

[CrAkD]

No. Couldn't be a worse time. It would look like apple is turning their back on everyone that bought an AT&T iPhone 4 at launch.

 

[Mad Mac Maniac]

Haha. I would laugh if this wasn't about the antenna at all.

It's about the new verizon iphone!!! THAT would throw people for a loop!

Edit: for the record, I would thought a fit and be totally pissed... But after I laughed

 

[topmounter]

At this point AT&T dumping the iPhone4 would make more sense

 

[nooaah]

Yeah, announce it now so I can return my iP4 next week.

 

[LordOBoogie]

No.

The only thing worse than an apple fanboy is a verizon fanboy.
Now piss off and buy an imitation iPhone.

Calm down. It's just a phone. Unless the iPhone solves the problem of world hunger, and only Steve Jobs has it, nobody should be getting that upset over a phone. I'm just pointing out a coincidence. You don't have to post anything if you don't want to.

It is never going to happen

Apple announced it in Jan, later eleased in 6 months
You claim rumors said it will come to verizon, and its 6 months from janruary

I can't believe i even bothered posting this

THERE HAS BEEN COUNTLESS RUMORS, Just because its 6 months before the "rumored" Jan launch date for Verizon DOESNT MEAN ITS AS POSSIBLE compared to Apple's official announcement back in Jan

 

[dissdnt]

Um it's 2012, released contracts confirmed AT&T is exclusive for 5 years.

 

[Fidget08]

Id be bouncing off walls if this was the case. I dont think itll happen but DAMN id be excited!!! RUMSPRINGER!

 

[puggles]

Umm no...not while we can all still return our iPhones that don't work correctly

 

[renewed]

...RUMSPRINGER!

I love that movie

 

[sushi]

No.

Pretty sure we won't see anything with Verizon until 2012.

Besides today Apple is gong to address iPhone 4 issues. This has nothing to do with expanding availability to Verizon.

Too much competition from Android for an iPhone to be relevant on another network. Maybe they should just release it to everyone.
