According to a report done by CNN, Verizon Wireless’ sales representatives actively discouraged them from buying an iPhone and instead pushed hard for rival smartphones, because these rival have something that the iPhone 4s does’nt have,  4G coverage..
With so many options to choose from when deciding to purchase a new smartphone, from apps, size and names of smartphones. Verizon has decided to give their 4g phones a bigger push over Apples iPhone 4s. According to the CNN report customers “Went in to buy an iPhone 4s… but walked out with a Razr. “Do sales reps hate the iphone?! No they dont but until  Apple releases their next iPhone (Which will hopefully have LTE coverage) Verizon will continue to push all the android devices with 4g.
“The iPhone is a great phone, but it’s on 3G,” said one representative at a Verizon Wireless store in midtown Manhattan. “I’m not going to recommend a phone that’s outdated.” For now Android has a leg up on the iPhone in Verizon eyes and seems as the 4s is already outdated to them due to the lack of 4g. “At the end of the day, I think that carriers — the vast majority of carriers, or maybe even all carriers — want to provide what their customers want to buy,” Cook said
