Map Shows Verizon iPhone Penetration Strongest in North East, West Coast

Mobclix has a nice infographic showing the current penetration of Verizon into the U.S. iPhone market. Their goal was to see if Verizon was making much traction against AT&T, as the consensus leading up to the release of the Verizon iPhone had been that there would be a mass exodus of AT&T users to Verizon, once the iPhone became available.

The infographic lays out some surprising (and some unsurprising) information: The cities with the highest Verizon usage were San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York and Boston; Verizon iPhone Owners are on Wi-Fi 38% of the time (compared to 53% for AT&T customers); and 2 in 3 AT&T iPhone Owners who switched to Verizon paid the termination fee.

Also of note were the top 3 reasons for existing iPhone owners to switch to Verizon were: reception issues, the personal hot spot feature, and reputation.
