AT&T Inc., the second-biggest U.S. mobile-phone operator, will be the exclusive carrier for Amazon.com Inc.’s new smartphone, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the deal isn’t public.
More than seven years after Apple Inc. introduced the iPhone, Amazon will unveil its first foray into the smartphone market tomorrow at an event in Seattle hosted by Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos. Fletcher Cook, a spokesman for AT&T, declined to comment on whether AT&T had the Amazon phone exclusively. An Amazon representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
