AppleInsider reported that most probably iPhone would come to T-Mobile rather than Verizon. It’s based on a note released to investors this week by Doug Reid of Thomas Weisel Partners. Doug Reid and his firm believes that T-Mobile, and not Verizon, will be the beneficiary when Apple’s exclusive agreement with AT&T expires next year. AT&T has likely realized this, he said, and has changed its advertising focus accordingly to be less focused on the iPhone.

“AT&T advertising in the United States has in recent weeks clearly shifted away from iPhone as the carrier likely readies itself to lose exclusivity in the United States (to T-Mobile and not to VZ, we believe) while VZ ads promoting Droid and other anti-iPhone devices appear to have intensified markedly,” Reid said.

Another compelling reason for this prediction is that the iPhone hardware change required for T-Mobile’s GSM network compatibility is relatively minor compared to what would be necessary to make the iPhone compatible with Verizon’s CDMA network — a technology that, unlike the GSM network of AT&T and T-Mobile, is not widely used abroad.

May be, we will have wait and see whether Apple would implement UK’s multi carrier model in US too or not. If, would it go to Verizon, which mocks iPhone’s “there is an app for that” ad with it’s own “there is a map for that” ad and also backs up Apple iPhone OS’s new competitor Google’s Android OS? Or would it go to T-Mobile, which has comparatively very less subscriber than Verizon?

Lets cross our fingers and let Apple do it’s own math.
