Default AT&T to collapse in early 2011

http://www.tipb.com/2010/10/06/wsj-a...iphone-5-2011/

This rumor is looking pretty true by all sources. Moreso than recent ones.

Quote:
None other than the Wall Street Journal, and the notoriously well-informed Yukari Iwatani Kane, is saying Apple will have a Verizon-compatible iPhone ready by the end of 2010, which means if a deal can be worked out, Verizon could be carrying it by early 2011 (as numerous previous rumors have suggested).

The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CDMA used by Verizon, these people said. The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year, according to the same people.

Kane also says “people briefed on the matter” reveal Apple is working on a new form factor for iPhone 5, which would almost certainly be revealed at WWDC 2011 in June. Whether or not this is a new antenna design isn’t said, but it isn’t hard to imagine either.

Neither Apple nor Verizon would comment, so we’ll leave that to you!

Fuck the AT&T. My contract is up in a little over a month and I can't wait to get rid of these knob slobbering bitches.

I wish sprint was a knob slobbering bitch. That sounds much nicer.

And why would allowing the Iphone to go to another carrier cause AT&T to collapse? They had plenty of clients before the iphone, plenty now who dont have an iphone and plenty that will use them after the iphone is allowed elsewhere...

It's a joke, because plenty of morons swapped carriers to get the iphone and absolutely hate AT&T, but had to have the fashion item known as iphone. They will immediately leave AT&T for Verizon if the iphone is there.
