[/caption]The latest release of the 4th generation iPhone has caused even more people than usual to question when Apple lovers will have an option other than AT&T as a service provider.
A lot of people cite AT&T’s poor service as the main reason they do not own an iPhone, even though they would really like to.
It has been rumored for years that Verizon will eventually have the rights to provide service for the popular iPhones.
Reports were released yesterday that Verizon will be ending AT&T’s monopoly over the device next year. There has not been an official statement from anyone at Apple, Verizon, or AT&T that confirms this. At the moment there are only unofficial reports coming from sources inside the companies; these unofficial sources do not want to be credited, since the information has obviously not been cleared to go public.
This is not the first time that there have been reports about Verizon adding the iPhone to the devices that they cover. Some customers are annoyed that it has not happened yet, considering the fact that AT&T's service is not as good as Verizon’s.
Some trend spotting analysts believe that once Verizon gets permission to sell the iPhone, other mobile service providers will follow suit; a lot of people think that T-Mobile will be the second service provider in the US to pick up a contract.
There are some rumors that Apple will be creating a Verizon version of the phone that will differ slightly from the AT&T iPhone.
While the prospect of Verizon covering the phone is reasonable, the idea that Apple will be creating a device specifically for the purpose seems pretty unrealistic.
Until there is an official announcement we will all be stuck guessing as to when someone other than AT&T will finally be able to carry iPhones.
