AT&T will still have hold of iPhone until 2011
While many rumors have been circulating around over AT&T and Verizon, who will get hold of the iPad and iPhone? Well, looks like for now the Apple iPhone will still be under AT&T’s wing until 2011. It was a debate earlier on who will get hold of these Apple devices. Verizon seemed a strong contender then with names already laid out for them such as the Verizon iPhone and Verizon iPad but unfortunately that wasn’t so. All those Verizon supporters and subscribers will be highly disappointed but next chance after 2011, maybe. An analyst gave his piece of mind on this situation saying “Launch of Apple’s iPad on AT&T’s network is a vote of confidence in AT&T’s network by the equipment maker. While iPad sales are unlikely to materially impact wireless revenues in the short term, selecting AT&T to launch its second major communications product reflects Apple’s bias for the global GSM platform and the prospects of AT&T’s network capability. Moreover, it could suggest the iPhone exclusivity may continue, at least through the end of 2010.”
Since it’s been decided about the Apple iPhone’s official mobile carrier, the wait is still on for the Apple iPad.
