Verizon iPhone not ready for iCloud sneak peek

When Apple announced iCloud yesterday, there was the usual excitement over a new Apple service, but said service wouldn’t be rolling out until the fall. However, Apple also announced an iCloud sneak peek via iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 which allows users to download past purchases and try out automatic downloads. Sadly though, Verizon iPhone users have been left out in the cold.

Verizon iPhones still run iOS 4.2.8, which isn’t compatible with the iCloud preview. Apple hasn’t publicly said why iOS on a Verizon iPhone lags behind iOS on an AT&T iPhone, but it does.

Do you have a Verizon iPhone? Not to worry. Though Apple hasn’t made an official announcement, you can bet both companies are working to bring parity which should allow Verizon iPhone users to preview iCloud as well. The only question now is when Apple will release the compatible iOS update for Verizon users.
