iOS is the best selling mobile OS on Verizon

So not only is the iPhone the best selling phone on Verizon1, iOS is the best selling mobile operating system on what most believe to be the dominate Android carrier. So the old argument that lower sales for multiple different Android phones still would cumulatively outsell the iPhone is wrong.

1. and most likely the best selling phone on all carriers it is sold on↩

Tiered Data Plans

John Gruber via Daring Fireball

“Unlimited” hasn’t worked for the carriers, and has never truly meant unlimited anyway. If you use more than 2 GB per month you’re going to pay more, but this strikes me as fair, because most people don’t use that much data.

What I don’t get is why not offer everyone the $10 for 75 MB plan? Lower the monthly minimum and get more people to switch from feature phones to app phones.

I agree. It makes sense to me that giving a customer a taste of data on a smart or app phone would lead to a good percentage of those customers upping theit data plan. My Mother is a perfect example. She bought a 3Gs and the 250 MB plan for $15 a month. As she got addicted to apps and having a real computer in her hand she moved to the 2 GB plan month 2. If only the $25 2 GB plan was offered I don't know if she would have bought the iPhone in the first place. My only thought is that Verizon doesn't believe they can recoup the smartphone subsidy at $10 a month.
