Why wont apple announce if Verizon is getting iphone

I am a loyal mac convert that is stuck with a blackberry due to having to be on Verizon. My contract is up in a few months and I will be upgrading phones. Im tired of the limitations Im having with blackberry, but I may have to go with either another BB or look at HTC. That means another 2 yr commitment without an iphone. This is frustrating. If I knew it was going to be 3 mos, 6 mos or whatever, I would hang on with my current phone and try to make it last. Perhaps its never going to happen? Seems to me, Apple is letting money go down the drain!

Apple won't announced Verizon is getting the iPhone unless Verizon actually gets the iPhone and until that time (if this ever happens) there is no announcement to make.
I think most of the rumors in this regard are purposely started by Verizon or by Verizon hacks to help prevent Verizon subscribers from leaving Verizon to get an iPhone as in - the iPhone is coming to Verizon - I read this on a blog which was copied by another blogger so it must be true - I'll wait but I wish I knew exactly when that was going to be.
Apple is making plenty of money and manufacturing a CDMA iPhone for one carrier will result in less money being made due to a different component required purchased in smaller quantities than the GSM component current sold in 88 countries throughout the world along with additional expenses associated with testing and support.

  • Why wont apple let me download apps without a credit card?

    Why wont apple let me get an apple ID without a "no credit card" suggestion in the payment method?
    I dont buy my apps and I dont understand why my sister (and other people) were able to make an apple ID without putting a credit card.
    Though I can enter my apple ID account when it comes to the game center, when I try to download an app that problem always appears. So now I'm using my sister's ID, but I really want to have my own. 

    Follow it through to the payment methods and choose None if it is available.

  • Why wont apple accept the fact that 4.0 is for iphone 4 and not for 3gs?

    Having all those problems said with 3g/s running on iOS 4.X why wont they let us just downgrade back to 3.1.3 officially until they find a way on how to solve issues with 3g/s?
    About the downgrade method of life hacker, if you're really not good in those things you might actually ruin your pc like my friend who tried it, she lost her wifi on her notebook, i had to help her find the installer of the driver again. this happened after she tried to install that libusb that is needed to run the application for exit recovery mode and other stuff.
    Yes iOS 4.1 is out but contacts disappearing? And who knows what more problems it brings. I was even peeking around the iphone 4 forums it seems that they are not doing well either.
    Anyway mine is all fine except that im afraid to use wifi or any apps that needs internet connection because everytime i do, my 3gs gets very very hot. I have already done the basic solution suggested by apple (factory reset, start from new iphone) but its still the same.
    And another thing, the multitasking is getting annoying, you have to manually close all apps in the 'multitasking background' everytime you decide to quit an app. I guess they should put a 'Disable multitasking' or something like that.

    Because it works beautifully in the 3GS, with better battery life, faster operation and some great new features.

    If you are having problems it is NOT from 4.0; there is something else wrong with your phone. There are plenty of troubleshooting tips in the forum if you look.

    NO YOU DO NOT. Those apps in the ribbon are not multitasking, they are suspended. You can ignore them and they won't hurt battery life or memory, unless they are streaming apps like Pandora.
    It's amazing. For 3 years people screamed about the fact that the iPhone didn't support multitasking. Now they scream because the phone DOES multitasking. You can't win.

  • Why wont apple support conmtact me

    why wont apple support contact me?

    I'm really surprised that you were told to just wait for an update. Are you using a particular piece of software that causes this? If "application X" causes the issue then maybe they are right and you need an update to run the software normally. But let's assume that's not it unless you say differently.
    Here's a couple things:
    1) I get that you are upset, but don't freak out. It's not going to make the rep on the phone help you anymore.
    2) Is there a mac store near you? If so, make a genius bar appt. and go there.
    3) If not call Apple and tell them your problem. Calmly. Not in a "you guys won't help me!" way. Tell them you want to send it in (because you have no store close to you. If you do have a store close to you see #2) so they can fix it. Firmly but politely let them know that this is a real problem. Don't ask for a NEW computer. The fact is, you don't need a NEW computer, you need yours fixed.
    4) If they do not help you then ask to speak to a supervisor and repeat.
    It's very important that you stop asking for a new computer. That isn't how it works. Anywhere. You just need yours fixed. If there really is a software upgrade needed ask them to explain it to you so you understand the problem. But most importantly stay calm.
    Let us know how it goes JC.
    Cheers.

  • Why wont apple allow me to purchase chips/coins for games

    Why wont apple allow me to purchase chips/coins for games

    I don't know.  Maybe you could tell us what you are seeing to make you think this.
    If by some remarkable feat of mind reading I sense you are seeing a message for you to contact iTunes Customer Service about the purchase, well maybe you should do what it suggests and find out.

  • HT4314 Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter!? why?

    Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter?! Iv done everything I can but games log into it reactivated its notifications aswell. It auto logs me back in...I want apple to let you unregister completely why not?? I have disabled all notifications from Gamecenter romoved all games listed, i deleted my email adress registered, i changed my user name...and loged out but games reactivate it, I also noticed it still keeps a record of your previous score and when reactivated relists all games on your handset again aswell.

    I feel the same way -- I would REALLY like to remove this misbegotten piece of junk completely. I would SETTLE for being able to disable it -- although there are instructions for "disabling" it, it doesn't STAY disabled. I have followed the instructions, removed my email address (although it still uses my email address as the login and won't allow me to ACTUALLY remove it), made my profile private, then signed out... And the next time the device is powered back on, the account is logged in again and insisting on trying to connect to every game I play. So I deny access, "disable" it, sign out, etc, again... ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
    When the rest of my family switched to android, I stubbornly stayed with my beloved iOS devices and my Macs, but this annoyance -- which WILL NOT go away -- almost makes me think I should reconsider. I HATE Game Center, and want it off my devices.

  • Why wont apple tv 2 load my library ?

    why wont apple tv 2 load my library ? network is fine, wired connection, movies and music play over airplay, its just on atv main screen-computers just reads loading library ?

    This has been happening to me lately too.  The workaround I've been doing is quitting iTunes and reopening it.  After that, my AppleTV finds it right away.  Unfortunately, it's a temporary solution because it's happening every time I want to watch anything.

  • Why Wont Apple Fix AUDIO / VIDEO Sync Issues

    This has been a problem for awhile. Thank god there is a application fix but im receiving an iTouch very soon and I'm not sure if the same problem is going to be on that to..
    It might be how Quicktime reads .MP4 and .M4V Files but i can play the videos on VLC and Zune Software fine..
    I see other people posting this exact same problems. I see no answers... Apple Knows this is an issue. Why wont they fix it.
    From what im hearing it is the audio that is going out of sync from the video.
    Now my Final Question is
    "Is this just a Software issue for the computers or is it also a Software issue (Assuming that quicktime is the software on these devices) for the iTouch / iPhone ?

    well i got my itouch today and it seems that the audio and video sync issues are only on the computer distributions of quicktime and not the hand held device versions

  • Verizon's getting IPhone

    Yupp, Verizon is getting the iPhone according to this article...
    http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/07/5787083-verizon-iphone-will-be-announced-tuesday-report?GT1=43001
    Im kinda disappointed...Verizon had there own unique smartphones, now they will be just like AT&T with the iPhone...(Just my opinion)

    The iphone is the only competition Att@t has on verizon and just because verizon is getting the iphone doesn't mean their other smartphones are going to be forgotten, there will just be more options. Of course when it comes out it will be advertised like crazy but I don't think it will have much affect on other phones. It's still up to what the customer likes.

  • Why wont apple just give me a new MBP? my screen is messed up! 3 months old

    I wrote a post about this a couple weeks ago.
    I'm experiencing screen tearing on my screen of my 15'' MBP. Every now and then, and small/thin black line will flash for a microsecond across my screen. It can be anywhere on the screen and it is totally random.
    When i take it to Apple, i'm told that they were informed its just a software issue and to "watch for updates". Are you kidding me? I have a computer that I paid $2100 for and you're telling me to "watch for updates"?
    I know that ALL macbook pro's arent doing this. Why not give me one that works or fix mine? I have 9 months left on my warranty!
    Any input anyone? Can't i speak to a supervisor and get a new one?
    Thanks..

  • Why wont apple let us set personal security questions?

    Like create our own personalized questions, instead of their pre- determined questions. I mean, we can setup a 2step verification(terrible concept, tbh), but we cannot for whatever reason set detailedly specific questions and answers for our Apple account managed via our AppleID. Just curious asto why with all of the internet security issues lately .

    When I said 'valid' answers, I meant actual words that could be remembered.  I've posted on here previosuly that you should use 'fake' answers.  For example, don't put in the real answer to 'What was the model of your first car?'  If you've ever posted a picture of your first car on Facebook, you've just given someone a chance to get itno your account via social engineering.
    So, use a weird word, like 'banana' to answer that question.
    Was your favorite movie really 'Gone With the Wind'?  Don't put that.  Instead, put 'Paper Airplane'.
    And so on.
    What I meant by 'valid' was people putting in things like 'adsfhjsflkhsdflhk' as the question and then 'sdjkfghlkajh' as the answer.  Or something equally dumb, as I've seen/heard before as 'What is 2+2' and the answer was... '4'.  Or 'What is my maiden name/", and the answer actually being a truthful answer.
    Might as well just post your Apple ID, password and credit card details online in every chat forum you can find.
    I never debated that Two-Step verification was better.  What I did was attempt to actually answer the question posed by the OP.

  • Why wont apple tv mirror any apps on my ipad 3?, why wont apple tv mirror any apps on my ipad 3?

    I was sold Apple TV on the premise that I could play games on my ipad3 and see it on my tv. However, all I get is audio! What's the deal? I feel ripped off!!!

    I was trying to understand if he was using AirPlay feature from his games rather than activating the mirroring.
    Brian is rigth that specific apps could prevent you to use mirroring.  I often see this with TV streaming apps.  When you got this limitation related to an app, you will see the AirPlay icon as an speaker instead of a TV box.
