@Tallest_Skil: It could happen. There’s always the possibility. Same reason as Samsung could be the next Galaxy Carrier.
1. Apple would be willing to invest in it’s money to make a better call center that covers 100% of the United States. Even the mountains can’t block their signals. Verizon and AT&T have yet to build towers that penetrate mountains nor are willing to invest in penetration.
2. Even if Apple has already tried and was denied under forced legalization, laws change. Even if not, Apple can take it’s $100 Billion Dollars and buy off a cellphone company.
Why would we even want anything like that??? Last thing I want is for a company to have a monopoly on a cell phone service, regardless of who the company is.
The only way I could see this in the United States is if they purchased one of the carriers. There just simply isn’t enough spectrum remaining for them to make a legitimate carrier. Also, for those currently under contract- i would gladly jump to Apple’s carrier, especially if it’s the exclusive carrier of Apple, but there are a lot of people that are under contract. Just keep it as is, its a proven method that has reaped benefits for Apple. If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it I say
More wild, wild speculation from Erfon.
now way.
way to mislead ur readers tricking them into listening to your geeky voices for an hour
@Tallest_Skil It’s Apple. They wouldn’t be legally forced to carry other *smart*phones.
