I think it depends on the device heck they are not the only ones slow about getting new devices.

I wonder why VZ is being so difficult with android now? Is the iPhone more lucrative for VZ?

The iPhone still does very well in the US. I wonder if carriers see higher data usage leading of course to more $$ with iPhone users.

I doubt it has anything to do with data usage and more to do with the number of DIFFERENT Android devices. Verizon has to "support" (that word entails more than just people calling in for technical help, mind you !) just (3) iPhones (4, 4s, and 5). Verizon currently SELLS (19) different Android phones, not to mention previous year's models. Hell, don't include the previous ones and stick with the (19) number and it's 6x the models.
