Verizon lost contract negotiations with Apple because iPhone on ATT by itself outsells all smartphone sales on Verizon. Speculation is that it outsells Verizon Android phones by 2x to 2.5x. In addition, Verizon's smartphone penetration is less than ATT smartphone penetration. Penetration as in percentage of people on the carrier with smartphones versus dumbphones.We don't know the details, but at least one thing is very true: ATT has increased subscribers at a faster rate than Verizon. And in calendar Q3, it was basically a statistic dead heat. This is after Verizon having an ~8m subscriber lead after the Alltel merger.So, what is Verizon getting? More smartphone contract sales at $70 and up. They hope it is 2 to 3 million per quarter to match or defeat ATT in subscriber growth. All told, it could be $1 billion revenue per quarter. iPad to iTunes Bad review Rene. When you need so many colorful adjectives to downplay the competition, and at every other sentence you reassure yourself by saying that this or that feature will be on iPhone 5, a phone we know nothing about, it just comes out looking fanboysh and a little worried. The competition has great phones, and arguably plastic is a better case component than steel and glass, at least Galaxy S owners can go without cases and bumpers. I think the sheer amount of cases for the iPhone 4 speaks for itself, and thatīs not a good thing. The beauty of the iPhone 4 is iOS, by far the best phone OS in the market. Thatīs it, Apple has it, nobody else does. There is no need to make the iPhone 4 look like the greatest thing under the heavens, it isnīt.
