The competition of Smartphones heat up in 2011, especially for Apple with its Verizon iPhone and Google with its Android. Arrival of Verizon iPhone in February not only makes the smartphone fans “headache” but also extensive damage to AT &T.
As we know, for many years AT & T has an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone, with Apple's migration to Verizon, would make the AT & T revenue will lose in a huge amount.
A Verizon iPhone will become a magnet for users of AT & T that will attract them to immediately use the Verizon iPhone. Likewise with Verizon customers who've been wanting for long time to try a product from a company that based on the latest news has managed to obtain the greatest revenue (Read: Apple Earnings Hits New Record )
But, how about Android Smartphone? Could the Verizon iPhone will cause problems for Android, the popular operating system from Google. The answer is probably yes.
Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis, told the site NewsFactor.com
"This is going to be a huge deal for Verizon. They are going to sell so many of these it's going to make people's heads spin, but it's not going to kill AT&T,".
Instead, Greengart predicts that the Verizon iPhone will make things difficult for carriers such as Sprint, who may see users jumping ship for Verizon – and for Google.
Grrengart reason based on the dominant of Android phones on the Verizon network, he and other observers argue that Verizon customers will be difficult to be persuaded to choose Android phones. Because their enthusiast to use iPhone was very large
But a different opinions was brough by Digital Trends' Ryan Fleming
"Although the iPhone is going to soon be on both Verizon and AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile will also both continue to nurture their Android phones, ensuring that Google’s OS will continue to thrive even if Apple does insanely well at Verizon,"
Fleming continues
"The arrival of the iPhone might signify the dilution of any single competitor rather than the superiority of one. Android was able to grow because iPhone was caged by AT&T, and because of that, the Google OS exploded and expanded. RIM managed to solidify its customer base, while Windows 7 has made small, but decent progress over the last few months."
So who will wins, Apple with the Verizon iPhone or Google with Android. We'll wait
