Why does Verizon not want people to buy the iphone?
Last time i went to buy a new phone I was going to buy the iphone but got persuaded into buying a droid incredible at the verizon wireless store. I didn't really like it to much but anyways, yesterday I went to get a new phone 2 years later and set out to get an iphone 5. They persuaded me so much and almost harassed me not to get the iphone at Verizon Wireless. I ended up getting the Iphone anyways but i wonder why they don't want people to buy iphones and rather them to get droids. My father had the same thing happen to him. He wanted to buy an iphone but go talked into getting a droid. Does anyone know why Verizon pushes people to get droids and not iphones? The iphone 5 Is great lol
They wan't you to get a Droid because they get more money from Droid's than iPhone's.
They want you to but the droid
Verzon has to subsidize every phone. It pays the most to subsidize the iphone and pays less to subsidize droid devices.
It may just be the employee who doesn't want you to get the iPhone because of their own opinion. They may hate Apple or the iPhone and simply don't want to sell the iPhone. Or it could be that the person in charge of that Verizon store doesn't want the iPhone to be sold.
Simple, because sales people will provide you with what "they" feel is the best phone. Just because you sell phones doesn't mean that you will like all the phones out there, and many sales people don't like iPhones for whatever personal reason they may have. Think about it, they are trying to sell you something. Either way you look at it, the phone is subsidized, regardless if it's an Apple or Droid, so either way Verizon as a whole doesn't make many off of it until you have fulfilled your contract.
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why don't people just listen to music on their iphone why buy a ipod? I know some mobile devices aren't good with organizing music but the iphone is good with that so why?
- Why does my iphone 4 say verizon 1x instead of verizon 3g and how can i fix it? The data on my phone isn't working and I believe it's because my iphone 4 says 1x instead of the normal 3G. I tried resetting the3 network settings, but it didn't work… Help? (any other questions about my situation feel free to answer)
- Why does fewer and fewer people like Iphone, I want to know the real reason? I don't know what reasons make fewer and fewer people like Iphone. My many friends like samsung better. Maybe the Iphone is too expensive
