AT&T Will Unlock Phones, iPhones Need Not Apply
Why iPhones are not part of the deal

I'm not justifying it- but that's why.

Yeah, because Apple isn't making enough of a killing on all of its hardware to fund software upgrades. 🙄

It's ludicrous. Apple shouldn't be exempt.

I would assume because AT&T doesn't own the iPhone. Even if they wanted to, they probably couldn't. Nowhere on the iPhone do you see an AT&T logo like you do on all their other devices. They simply have a contract with Apple to be the exclusive selle...
