Biz, Tech: My, how success changes things: Verizon wants the iPhone

  • “High-level” discussions USA Today reports that Apple and Verizon have been talking for a few months about the possibility of bringing the iPhone to the platform. It’s a severe change for the wireless provider, who famously did not want to bend to Apple’s standards a few years back. source

  • AT&T should freak out If Apple brings the iPhone to another platform, AT&T should be plenty scared – 40% of their new mobile customers last quarter bought iPhones, a massive chunk of the pie. And as many don’t like AT&T’s service, it could be a coup for Verizon. source

Tech: If you’re on AT&T with your iPhone, your 3G will go faster soon

  • AT&T is upgrading their network, with a nationwide rollout soon. 3G speeds are pretty fast, but it could be faster. As a result, the phone company is adding speed upgrades which should boost the already zippy theoretical speed from 1.7 Mbps to 3.6Mbps. But those numbers are misleading – real world usage is currently about 700Kbps. The boost should hit by the end of the year in most markets, and AT&T is also working on a 4G network. As long as we can use our hacked iPhones to download torrents, we’re happy. source
