It’s official: early next month, Verizon will now carry Apple’s iPhone. Certainly there are both pros and cons to consider.
Advantages
- The carrier will offer users unlimited data plans on the 3G network, whereas AT&T have data caps for their plans. Users don’t want to be mindful of how much data they are using.
- Verizon offers its services in more areas than AT&T, leading to more consistent service.
Disadvantages
- Verizon’s iPhone users will not be able to use their device overseas.
- Verizon’s 3G network is slower than that of AT&T.
The main question however, is can Verizon keep up with the data traffic that is going to significantly increase with the iPhone’s popularity? AT&T surely encountered a range of issues, but it is believed that due to Verizon planning ahead before releasing the iPhone, they will be well-prepared for what is to come.
