Since the iPhone first came out it has been shackled to AT&T, much to the annoyance of iPhone users, and in the news recently the Big Blue has been stating that they aren’t worried if a Verizon iPhone should appear when their exclusivity over the iPhone ends.
Which is basically a load of old poo-pile, because if or rather when Verizon gets a CDMA iPhone it’s most definitely going to have an effect on AT&T’s custom as according to an article over on Intomobile by Will Park, a new study by research company Morpace has found that roughly 1 in 3 of the Big Blue’s iPhone customers would jump ship when the iPhone goes with another carrier.
According to the figures 34 percent of current iPhone customers to want leave AT&T while 43 percent are willing to consider jumping to Verizon if they offer the iPhone. The figures also show that 51 percent of Verizon customers are looking to purchase the Verizon iPhone when it appears.
Interesting numbers to say the least but hardly surprising when it comes to the iPhone and AT&T. It’s about time Apple stopped making potential customers wait as it’s obvious there is a large amount of potential iPhone customers just waiting for an iPhone to be with some other carrier than AT&T.
