The End of Exclusive: How Apple Plans to Grow Market Share [View article]
The article correctly identifies some of the external pressure on Apple to end the exclusive with ATT, it doesn't shed much light on how that will happen. I don't particularly fault the author. No one outside of Apple knows the answer to that .
My guess is Apple will not make a phone for Verizon. They will wait till Verizon deploys the next generation network.
Beyond that, my intuition is that Apple is thinking more deeply about this than simply increasing share by adding a carrier. Just as the App Store changed the landscape I suspect they are looking at some other new feature in the near term that will once again change the landscape whether Verizon is involved or not.
