Verizon iPhone 4 is coming in February and it would cost you $50 more. The Verizon iPhone 4 and AT&T does not have any major difference except CDMA supporting chipset and a better antenna.
Both the carriers are offering 16GB iPhone4 for $200 and 32GB for $300 with two-year contract but there is a big difference in the retail price of the phones. At AT&T, the retail price of the 16GB iPhone 4 is $599 and Verizon is $649. The 32GB version costs $699 at AT&T while the 32GB version costs $749.
Existing Verizon phone owners, who would buy the iPhone 4 at full retail price, would receive $200 Visa Debit card. At the FAQ section, Verizon Wireless said:
A: Current Verizon customers who purchased and activated new smartphones, feature phones or certified pre-owned phones between Nov. 26, 2010, and Jan. 10 2011, are eligible to receive up to a $200 Visa debit card when they purchase an iPhone 4 at full retail price by Feb. 28, 2011 and return their existing phone. Note: This offer is only available on consumer accounts with five lines or less, who are purchasing iPhone 4 through Verizon Wireless retail stores, telesales, or through verizonwireless.com.
There would be fewer people who would pay the full retail price and would go for the $200 rebate plan but there are some major issues to consider such as Verizon’s data plan and data usage limits, extra costs. Early Termination Fee is another big issue.
Verizon has not revealed its data plan for the iPhone 4 and no specific reason has been mentioned behind this pricing difference but experts believe that Verizon would attract large number of iPhone owners.
