Verizon To Get The iPhone?

Could the iPhone be coming to Verizon next year? A report in USA Today claims that Apple and Verizon are in “high level” talks about the iPhone coming to the carrier next year, when the deal with AT&T expires.

It could well be a win-win situation. Verizon would get its hands on the popular phone and the revenue involved, while Apple would tap into Verizon’s 80 million subscriber base.

According to industry insiders, Apple’s exclusive five-year agreement with AT&T is set to expire next year, but AT&T wants an extension.

The greatest problem with a Verizon deal well be technological. The iPhone uses GSM, while Verizon’s network is set to CDMA, which largely operates just in America. But Verizon is planning to roll out a 4G network next year, so talks might well revolve around that. However, according to Information Week, Verizon turned down the iPhone years ago because it wouldn’t be allowed to brand it. However, times have changed and money has a loud voice.

“Apple has determined that the rear camera on a very small percentage of iPhone 14 Plus devices may exhibit no preview. Affected devices were manufactured between April 10, 2023, to April 28, 2024,” says the company.

It's that time of year once again. The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and it's just about time to set your clocks back an hour. That's right! On Sunday, November 3, daylight saving time officially ends, and you'll need to set your clocks back an hour.

However, it’s important to know whether your phone will automatically change to daylight saving time or if you need to do it manually. It's a question that applies regardless of which phone you have. Whether you're rocking an iPhone 16, Google Pixel 9, Samsung Galaxy S24, or any other smartphone, it's essential to know whether or not you need to change it for the new time.
