Video: Verizon iPhone Launches to Small Crowds

Roosevelt Field Apple store opens early to surprisingly small turnout.

For years, AT&T customers have held their Apple iPhones high while Verizon customers have been on the outside looking in, so to speak.

But all that changed with the end of AT&T's iPhone exclusivity agreement, and on Thursday, Apple and Verizon joined together to release the iPhone 4 to the envious, non-AT&T masses.

Patch was at the Apple store at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City to cover the 7 a.m. Verizon iPhone launch. Click the video above to view highlights of this event.
