Apple does not subsidize their products. It is the carrier's decision as to whether they will subsidize the product themselves or not.

What does "Apple having to consider any of Verizon's conditions" have to do with my comment.

I never said they did or they should.

You said "If anything, Verizon has more leverage than ever." Leverage implies that Verizon has an advantage in settings the terms and conditions under which Verizon could or would get the product. If a product is severely constrained like the iPhone 4 is would also mean that Verizon currently has no leverage at all.

Apple can always buy more capacity, it will just cost Apple more money.

Yet Steve Jobs sees fit to publicly highlight Walt Mossberg's reviews whenever he praises Apple products.
