Will not happen until Verizon gets their LTE network up and running. I don’t see Apple making a special CDMA version for VZ, not after Verizon’s original “screw you” reception of the iPhone, their continued sniping, and sporadic attempts to FUD-out the iPhone.
Steve has a very long memory.
Lol, I haven’t listened to that troll Dworak in years, I came up with the same silly idea on my own ;-) I agree that there’s no upside or even a sideways-side for Apple to stop making hardware, only that they probably *could*, provided they kept the business model intact otherwise.
You said it better than I did with my reference to “use case”. They create a user experience that their customers prefer and are willing to pay for, above all other alternatives. That is, as they say, “the secret sauce”. Thanks.
Minor correction: The SMS plans are $5 for 200 messages/month, $15 for 1500, $20 for unlimited, and $30 for unlimited on a family plan.
A couple of additional notes on the data plans: If you go over the 2GB, instead of overage charges, you can start a new data billing cycle — so if you use 3GB a month, you’re paying $25 every 20 days (on average). The new data plan is required for tethering, so you have to give up the grandfathered unlimited plan to get that.
Thanks for the correction... I appreciate it.
