The story misses the boat.. as usual.
Cell phone companies do not build their own phones. They provide service. Apple will not provide the service, just the phone.
What's the problem lately is that cell phone companies have been writing software for phones that adds 'features' (read the phone company can charge you more money for this feature). These 'features' then break the delivered functionality that the phone manufacturer provides.
