When people come to a Verizon store asking to buy an iPhone 4, sales reps steer them towards any of the 50 Mbps/50ms 4G Android phones, claiming (correctly) that iPhone is obsolete, running at 1 Mbps/500ms 3G (name notwithstanding). Verizon payed billions of dollars for 4G spectrum and equipment, and doesn't want it go to waste due to the iPhone. Verizon also has to pay higher subsidies to Apple then to other manufacturers. What goes around, comes around.

In completely unrelated news, Android reclaims 61 percent of all U.S. smartphone sales in Q1 2012, while iPhone is back down to 29%.
