Apple expects much from their new Apple iPad in the way of sales, and no doubt the iPad will do exceedingly well as most iPhone fans will want to grab the latest creation to sit alongside their iconic iPhone, or simply to say “I have one.”
However, perhaps the reason Apple won’t allow Verizon Wireless to sell a Verizon iPhone is because maybe a Verizon iPhone would outdo Apple iPad sales. When you consider the quantity of Big Red customers out there, a Verizon iPhone would probably create huge sales and thus overshadow the iPad.
Then there is the much awaited iPhone 4G 2010, that too is a much sought after gadget and one that will no doubt again outstrip iPad sales as most if not all current iPhone owners would want to upgrade to the latest generation iPhone.
So in a sense, Apple enabling Verizon and then bringing out an iPhone 4G could affect Apple iPad sales and thus make it appear not as successful. But then again think of the revenue Apple could pull in with the launch of the iPhone 4G 2010 and a Verizon iPhone.
