Moron of the Week: Joe Wilcox

Joe Wilcox, on the Verizon iPhone announcement:

Verizon isn’t AT&T. The United States’ largest cellular carrier isn’t accustomed to taking crap from handset manufacturers. Verizon controls everything on its network and is quick to customize handsets with its software and services. AT&T is different, or was when Apple launched the original iPhone in June 2007. AT&T made lots of concessions to get iPhone, such as granting Apple control over the software and updates.

Wilcox is a moron if he thinks Apple gave up its control over the iPhone to have it on Verizon. In reality, I’m sure Verizon is more than happy to make concessions to Apple to be able to sell the iPhone.
