AT&T Briefly Becomes Biggest U.S. Carrier Thanks To The iPhone, Then Loses Again To Verizon... Thanks To The iPhone!


It might be brief, but yesterday, according to Gizmodo, AT&T snatched the covetous position of being the largest carrier in the U.S. from Verizon. The main reason, of course:

The iPhone!

Unfortunately, for poor old AT&T, Verizon now also has the iPhone, and coupled with a recent survey showing that there was a potential for some 25 million Verizon iPhones in 2011, thanks once again to the iPhone, AT&T was virtually guaranteed that it wouldn't be holding on to the number one position for long, but hey, at least they won't be the only ones confused by the incredible impact of the iPhone, as the little guy demonstrates in the video below.


In conclusion, while Google and everyone else is bending over backwards trying as hard as they can to steal the iPhones thunder, the one company mostly impacted by the iPhone and its iOS sibling is, of course, none other than Apple itself, since it was the iPhone that was mainly responsible for Apple surpassing mighty Microsoft, to become, in the process, the largest and most valuable technology company on the planet!



And that's my 2 cents 4 this sunny Friday, January 28, 2011
