\"\"<\/a>Followers of smartphone technology are no doubt tired of hearing the seemingly endless rumors that the iPhone is going to appear on carriers other than AT&T in the U.S. There have been at least one rumor<\/a> for each carrier, and even some speculation that all U.S. carriers would be seeing the iPhone <\/a>this year. Why so much speculation about this? The answer is revealed in a study found by an analyst<\/a> at\u00a0Morgan Stanley <\/a>(s ms)– big money.<\/p>\n

According to the study almost 17 percent of current Verizon customers have an “extreme interest” in getting an iPhone should the carrier offer the phone. That figure connotes a huge financial return for Big Red when you realize that Verizon has 90 million customers. When you carry the study results to a natural conclusion, there are 15.3 million customers that want a Verizon iPhone. That’s a lot of phones sold for Apple, and a huge annual return for Verizon on subscription fees.<\/p>\n
