Apple Needs To Pick Better Partners

How many of you iPhone users pinched your nostrils and swallowed hard when you bought your new iPhone? Yeah, me too. Sure, the iPhone is an outstanding device but going with AT&T is a huge drop off from Verizon. I imagine AT&T is a huge drop from any cellular service provider.  And I hold Apple at least partly responsible.

I certainly have no insight into the negotiations between Apple and the wireless companies it considered before selecting AT&T. I do not fault Apple for negotiating a deal with a wireless company that gave it the best financial returns.  However, I do believe Apple owes it to its customers to select a wireless partner that has the capability of servicing the iPhones Apple is selling.

As I write this I have been attempting to get a line for over 90 minutes. They never seem to mention this in the ads for iPhones or AT&T.
