IPhone Customers Stuck With AT&T Until 2012?

A new Engadget report printed yesterday indicates that AT&T and Apple signed a five-year exclusivity contract when they first went into cahoots preceding the iPhone’s debut in 2007. So doing a little first -grade math, that means that the iPhone may not be coming to Verizon for another two years. The report stems from a review of court documents from an ongoing California class-action lawsuit in which Apple admitted to the five-year deal back in 2008.

While the report has uncovered the inititial length of the deal, Engadget admits that it may have changed since then given the unprecedented explosion of the iPhone and the inability of AT&T to fully keep up. In other words, outside of confirming the initial five-year deal, this new report doesn’t offer anything that useful to your everyday life. We’ll all have to keep guessing when the iPhone will finally break it’s AT&T shackles. [via Engadget]
