    Default So, has anyone else read the extensive rumors about Verizon and Apple?

    I'm a major Apple geek (DH too) and within the last two weeks there have been rumors EVERYWHERE that Verizon will be releasing the iPhone 4G in June. I hate AT&T and that is the only reason I won't switch.

    (please be true, please be true, please be true)

    I haven't heard the rumors but I'm with you on this one. I've been dying for an iPhone but DH is a longtime Verizon customer and won't switch.

    we're BIG apple fans here too, and did hear the same rumor. I heard summer 2010, but again, could be rumors.

    I've been hearing rumors like that for a couple years now but it's louder than ever. I hope it's true. Everyone I know is on Verizon (except people who switched just to get an iphone). They'd make enormous $$$.

    The exclusive AT&T relationship is great for AT&T but I have no idea how it's supposed to benefit Apple, so this would make so much sense *fingers crossed*.

    I heard it on NPR, so I don't think it's a rumor. As for the release date, that may or may not be true. NPR didn't give a date, but did say 2011.

    I'm also a huge Apple fan, but AT&T has NO 3G coverage in my area. They brag about their maps & coverage - but that's for phone coverage, not 3G. I finally broke down and got a Droid Eris (on Verizon) because it was time to get a smart phone. If the iPhone comes to Verizon this summer, I'll be heartbroken, because I'm locked into this contract for 2 years. Yes, I could just go out & buy the phone at full price, but I don't see me doing that.

    It is also in Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...601774892.html

    No official word from Apple or Verizon but in cases like these it's usually safe to assume the anonymous source ("people briefed by the company") = reporter who was leaked info deliberately.

    I'm starting to wonder if Droid was developed solely to scare Apple into doing this. I'm glad I didn't jump on that. My ipod touch is awesome and I'd upgrade to an iphone in a minute if Verizon made it an option.

    ETA - crossposted with sunshine - don't be too too worried - I bet Verizon would have a switchover option.

    I think the Verizon iPhone is not going to be available until September but ATT will have the new iPhone in June.
