Handy Chart Helps You Decide If You Should Get An iPhone On Verizon

The big news today was that the iPhone is finally available in the US on the Verizon network. To help people decide if they should purchase one, I created this helpful chart:
Obviously, the chart is meant in jest. Partially.
Though I do question the merit of buying an iPhone on Verizon (or on any carrier).
CES just finished with Verizon announcing several new phones for their new, very fast LTE 4G network. The iPhone will only run on Verizon's older, slower CDMA network. These newly announced phones have the latest features and are brand new. The iPhone is the same old version that has been available for half a year (and even when it was new, it sucked compared to Android). Choosing to buy on old iPhone that only runs on the older slower 3G network makes as much sense as running out to buy yesterday's newspaper.
In my opinion, the only reason why anybody would choose one of these Verizon iPhones is if you were a die-hard iPhone fan and hated the quality of AT&T. Otherwise, the better decision is to get a new LTE-capable Android phone.
