Apple’s big, mysterious announcement coming on Wednesday has many speculating that it will entail the unveiling of some sort of new Apple tablet device. But according to the Hot Hardware blog, there are also rumblings of AT&T losing their network exclusivity of the iPhone to Verizon.
Although just a rumor at this point, it does make a great deal of sense. For one, AT&T’s contract with Apple is about to expire. Additionally, AT&T could stand to have some of the pressure taken off of them as the iPhone gobbles up a great deal of their data, causing much of their network troubles. AT&T is said to be shopping around for more cutting edge phones to compensate for the loss of their network hold on the iPhone.
