Verizon CEO Refuses to Confirm iPhone Tieup
By wchung | 22 Apr, 2026
Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg says the company has told Apple that it wants to carry the iPhone. But he declined to say when — or even if — the popular smart phone will be available for Verizon Wireless customers.
In remarks Tuesday before the Council on Foreign Relations, Seidenberg cited a recent Wall Street Journal report that said Apple is working on a version of the iPhone that would be compatible with Verizon’s network.
But he did not confirm the report or give any further details Tuesday.
AT&T Inc. has exclusive rights to the iPhone in the United States. The company has been silent about the reports on the new iPhone model.
Apple is expected to announce details on a new iPhone operating system Thursday in Cupertino, Calif.
