A new survey from Credit Suisse says that 63% of iPhone owners will stay with AT&T even if Verizon gets the iPhone.
BusinessInsider reports that 23% want to join Verizon, 3% want to go to Sprint, and 2% want to go to T-Mobile.
While this number sounds high, it is actually better than previously reported, leading Credit Suisse to be raise its price target on AT&T to $35, from $27.
You can see slides of the entire survey at BusinessInsider.
Personally, I think it's a STUPID survey. Of course, most folks aren't going to want to pay a penalty AND sign a new contract for the exact same phone! Also, since when is a Swiss Bank doing tech surveys of American products concerning American companies? One, what's their motive and two, WTF does it affect them?
I would LOVE to buy a Verizon iPhone 5! But I just signed a new contract with the iPhone 4, and I have an iTouch 3G I just bought in December. I really don't need ANOTHER $74/month contract on top of all of that!
