According to a company spokesman, Verizon is unlikely to get the Apple iPhone in the "immediate future," despite Apple CEO Steve Jobs' recent revelation that "there might be" a iPhone on a new carrier in the U.S. soon.
Verizon spokesperson John Johnson says: "We have no plans to carry the iPhone in the immediate future."
Johnson then went on to talk about Android, and Verizon's support of the HTC Incredible and other "flagship" Android devices.
Steve Jobs, speaking a week before Apple's yearly Worldwide Developers Conference, had said "there might be" a chance of the iPhone on another carrier, before adding: "The future is long. I can't talk about that stuff."
AT&T recently announced the elimination of unlimited data plans, while adding new data plans for their smartphone line, including the iPhone and iPad tablet, which will be less expensive for customers, but will also limit data use.
