Worst Company In America Sweet 16: Apple Vs. AT&T

Here it is, the final no-holds-barred death match of the WCIA Sweet 16! To finish off this round, we’ve got two companies that — until very recently — shared a death grip on the U.S. iPhone market.

In the first round, Apple beat the app store out of familiar foe Microsoft, winning with over 60% of the vote. While AT&T screamed “Can you hear me now?” to a vanquished Verizon.

This is the second year in a row these two avatars of avarice have met in the Sweet 16. Last year it was Apple that strolled into the Elite 8. Will we see a repeat? Only you, the voters, can make that decision.

This poll is now closed. Congrats to AT&T!
