hey guys so today I'm here with a comparison between the Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4 now the earlier this morning Verizon announced that they will be the second carrier in the United States to go ahead and pick up the iPhone 4 and it's actually going to be a little bit difference not just for the exact same phone that actually have made some pretty sizeable changes to go ahead and support on the Verizon network stand we'll go ahead and go over all those changes both on the network side as well as just on these phones themselves to help you all make the best decision that you can about which one is going to be right for you so to begin with let's talk about the design now I do please keep in mind that this is not a you know comparison between you know the iPhone 4 on AT&T and the iPhone 5 or something like that I mean Verizon did not pick up anything special they have the iPhone 4 they both both phones are 99% identical but just a few key differences so don't expect you know that the Verizon the Verizon iPhone will have 4G support or anything like that it's just going to work on the same standard 3G network of Verizon just like the AT&T version runs on their 3d network so some of the major things that as far as the design goes is that the Verizon iPhone has a slightly different antenna now of course the AT&T iPhone has had a lot of issues as far as near the antenna gate where you hold it in specific that's point it loses reception now whether they change this or not whether they fix this or not is not entirely apparent however they have ended the antenna to go ahead and work hopeful a little bit better on the Verizon iPhone now as an extra little notch and they're actually kind of more sized that they kind of more symmetrical it does look a little bit nicer but another thing is that this actually means that everything has been tweaked a little bit on the side so if you know with the volume buttons and the lock switch has been actually changed and lowered just a little bit now in a reality is probably going to make a whole lot of difference however what will is that this should make a lot of current iPhone cases not work with the Verizon iPhone just because the buttons that move down just a smallest amount now if you already have an iPhone on ATT and you want to move over to Verizon this is going to be an issue because most maybe at all but most of your cases won't work and indeed the same way goes if you have a Verizon iPhone where you plan on buying one now obviously you're going to want a case to protect your phone a lot of the cases you know won't won't be really specific it'll work for the 18 t but not yours so that's definitely something to keep in mind although of course not the biggest deal in the world I know as far as software goes again they are very very similar so you won't find any kind of V CAST or any kind of Verizon specific apps on the Verizon iPhone just like you don't see anything on the AT&T however there is one key piece of software on the Verizon iPhone that should be very helpful which is it allows you to go ahead and use it as a mobile hotspot so using this on the Verizon iPhone go ahead and enable up to five different devices go ahead and connect through the Wi-Fi on your iPhone pryzen the way this works very simple if you've ever had a 3G card or need a lot of other phones a tether it works very similar it's simple you can go ahead and just plug in your play anything but it it all goes through Wi-Fi so maybe have a game system like a PSP iPod a laptop anything you want that has Wi-Fi go ahead connect through your iPhone 4 and then go up and you can go ahead and get on the internet so you go ahead and share out with several other devices now they haven't had said anything about the price it will be preloaded on all iPhones now they haven't said anything about whether they will charge you extra for which I'm fairly sure they will what you can go ahead and just use this for free so we'll have to see about that but anyway this is definitely a very nice feature that you can do on the Verizon iPhone that's what move on to that networks themselves which obviously are going to be the biggest draw now here in the United States AT&T has decent service some places I will give it that but for a lot of places such as where I live it's really you're just just bad it's just really bad where is on Verizon there they have a lot better coverage that I found a lot of other people kind of agree just depending on where you are I'm for ice it does have really really solid coverage so that alone is going to be the number one thing if you keep good ATT service where you live and that's point going to be a good option and if you get good Verizon service that's going to be a good option so if you live in a place like I do where 18t is terrible and Verizon is excellent it's gonna be a no brainer and likewise if it's ATT is great and Verizon is terrible you're gonna want to go ahead and go at that phone you know it doesn't matter speed features this that price need of that what matters most is if you is going to work or not so in general I found that Verizon tends to work better and a lot more places than AT&T does you should notice any major speed difference as far as on the internet or anything like that although one thing I will give to AT&T is network and it's a fairly important thing is that on AT&T let's say you're have your iPhone you're making a call and then you need to get on the internet you need to go look up something maybe you're on a call and say hey let's go find a restaurant to eat dinner tonight we can do that you can do simultaneous voice and data usage on the Verizon iPhone this is not going to be the case if you're on a phone call you're not going to be able to get on the internet likewise if you're surfing on the internet or anything like that you get a phone call you're gonna have to get out of that and go to the call now this is not again this is that one of these huge deal breakers or anything like that but it's definitely something to keep in mind and now the last thing I want to talk about is price upfront the price is going to be the same both carriers will carry it for $199 for the 16 gigabyte and 299 for the 32 gigabyte models I know whatever they do differ is the price of the con of the you know these service plans and all that kind of stuff AT&T you go ahead and check out I won't go through all they have a lot different plans and all kinds of like that now actually we don't have any concrete and information on the Verizon iPhone plan although I do assume they will be very similar to their current lineup of smart phones I don't really really say anything about it they're going to change it and if they would I would imagine they would have said so so in general expect that you will probably pay a little bit more for Verizon but again it kind of comes down to you pay a little bit more but you do generally get a better network sooner guys that's it for my whole wrap up and comparison of between the Verizon and the AT&T iPhone 4s personally I'm going to go ahead and pick up myself a Verizon iPhone 4 you know I really like the look of it I really like the Verizon coverage like I've said I hate AT&T around here a lot of places it really does not come in well so really this is gonna be just I'm gonna probably stay in line and go get one for myself um however if you do want to hold back especially gonna wait for the Verizon or AT&T or whatever they decide to the iPhone 5 or whatever they decide to call to come out this summer I definitely don't blame you as that will probably be a new upgrade cause you a lot of problems if you decide to buy it now so anyway guys thanks for watching
