Or Apple will just do it and the rest of the world will get on board. If Apple removes the SIM and people have a bad experience at Verizon, they will blame Verizon, not Apple. Apple have a long history of not being afraid of getting ahead of the curve. Sometimes it works out (removal of floppy drive), sometimes it doesn't (lack of ports on the previous gen MBP).
