Verizon iPhone 4 Available in Stores

Written by Editor, Feb 11, 2011

People lined up outside Verizon and Apple stores overnight to get the first version of the iPhone 4 to be offered in the U.S. by a carrier other than AT&T. This smartphone went on sale online last week, but today was its first appearance in retail locations.

Sales began at 7 am this morning, but many customers were there well before then, anticipating high demand and limited supplies - the stock set aside for online pre-orders last week sold out in just 17 hours. There was a line outside a typical Verizon store in a suburb near Atlanta, but it wasn't a big one: about 10 people were there when the doors opened. The store manager would not say how many iPhone 4 units he had in stock, which is typical of Verizon's launch of Apple's smartphone. How many were sold thorough pre-orders last week has also not been announced. The Beginning of a New Era AT&T had an agreement with Apple to be the sole U.S. provider for the iPhone since its launch back in 2007, but a second carrier is now offering this very popular smartphone.

Verizon iPhone 4 available in sotres - Verizon's and AT&T's versions of Apple's latest smartphone are virtually identical. They both run iOS 4.2 on the 1GHz Apple A4 processor. No matter which carrier offers it, the iPhone 4 has a tablet shape with a 3.5-inch, 960 x 640 touchscreen. Its rear-facing camera has a 5 megapixel resolution and an LCD flash. The front-facing camera allows for video conferencing.

The two carriers use incompatible cellular wireless networking standards, so an AT&T model can't be used on Verizon's network and vice versa. Still, both iPhone 4 models offer 3G speeds, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
