    "We are not going to have any flaws? other than announcing without stating plan pricing, getting peoples? hopes up for free/cheap mobile hotspots, waiting, waiting, waiting some more, and then dropping the hammer that pricing isn?t going to be an exciting new deal after all

    I am thinking that Apple will on purpose miss out on the release of iPhone5.



    With Verizon just now coming on. The new white phone seeming to be ready to come out.

    The new iPad surely coming out inthe next few months. And the Data Farm finally being unveiled.



    But especially the fact that all of Apple's competitors showing the hand, and not really holding anything compelling. There really is no reason for Apple to keep that date of anniversary. Let the very popular iPhone 4 have a longer selling period.



    At the moment, nobody, not even the once feared Android is a threat to outsell or even outshine Apple.



    I don't think very many people will really notice or mind.

    But... what will Apple talk about at WWDC? They can't possibly hold an entire conference about professionals and software development!

    Please don't confuse the trolls, AT&T apologists, fanboys and VZ haters with actual FACTS. They cannot process that kind of unfair tactic!

    Here is a chart showing iPhone unit sales for each fiscal quarter. That?s a lot of no ones buying iPhones in Q2 and Q3. I?d even say it?s the exact opposite of what you?re claiming.

A lot of people said they wouldn't do unlimited data because the network couldn't handle and what happen, they gave you unlimited data. Verizon is basically guilty before proven innocent.. Smh



    Verizon has already stated that they will phase out unlimited data.

    If no one wants the iPhone why will availability be slim? Further, if a person needs a phone today, you are saying people are going to wait five months when ultimately they want an iPhone? I doubt it. If you use that logic you'd never buy an Android phone, as new ones seemingly come out every month. Five months by comparison is very good. Moreover, if you want Verizon's unlimited plan, you better not wait as the company said it is a short term offer.



    I'd guess most people have no idea of product roadmaps, and Apple doesn't release its roadmap.

    2. No one wants the iPhone 4 less than 5 months before it's replaced. Perfect opportunity for Verizon to pretend like they succeeded where AT&T struggled, though.

    Because it sucks (in my honest opinion). It nickel and dimes you to death and loves to stick illegitimate charges on the bill. Customer service stinks. The unlimited is temporary. Further, it really isn't unlimited (read the fine print). Finally, I have little doubt Verizon will do a decent job with the roll out because it can better judge demand then when AT&T rolled the phone out.
