BusinessWeek abduce two source reporting thatVerizon might get an iPhone “ lite ” and a connected touch screen Apple pill as early as this summertime .
We ’ve heard talking like this for a farseeing time , but BusinessWeek is n’t pass to stick its neck out for rumour that are n’t at least well source , and on top of that , the reporters , Arik Hesseldahl and Spencer Ante , say that Verizon boss Lowell McAdam himself told them that he ’d spoken with Steve Jobs in the past six month about a spate .
There are n’t many detail , except that the phone and the tablet would be different from the iPhone that AT&T sell , presumably so that it would n’t intervene with the exclusivity sight currently in place . Much of the piece pot with the hedging , that is , why this whole matter may not go down in the end . Here ’s the bulk of it :
It ’s potential both side may dissent over financial price , such as how big a subsidy Verizon Wireless might pay for each twist or whether to partake monthly military service revenue with Apple . Another deal ledgeman could be disagreements over distribution of wireless software package coating . Apple is the single provider and distributor of apps for the AT&T iPhone . If Apple requests a standardised deal on newer devices , Verizon Wireless may resist .
For what it ’s worth , I recollect the buzz is make too brassy to ignore whole . This clearly smells like Apple ’s next move , and for Verizon ’s rice beer , I go for it ’s reliable , and not just a ploy by Apple to get a nicer exclusivity contract with AT&T. [ BusinessWeek ]
