For A Few Minutes, Apple Allowed Verizon iPhone Ordering
January 26, 2011
Officially online orders for the Verizon iPhone don’t begin until February 3 for “qualified customers” and February 10 for everyone else. However, someone at Apple must have been asleep at the switch.
Momentarily, Apple let customers order a handset on their website. Then, just like that, the links were no longer functional.
That didn’t stop of us from using the site to price out a handset before it went away.
Here is what we learned:
