One analyst says that Apple's iPhone may be losing its luster at Verizon Wireless as a Google Android favorite from Big Red overtakes it for the No. 1 spot. Sales of the ever-popular Apple iPhone may be slipping at Verizon Wireless, where sales representatives are said to be pushing the company's 4G LTE devices in a big way. On Tuesday, William Blair's Anil Doradla published a note that said that even though the iPhone is still the best-selling smartphone in the whole US, sales have slipped at Verizon Wireless. (Fortune was the first to report on Doradla's note.) Doradla in his research note said that his checks of Verizon's sales channel indicate that for the June quarter, the iPhone slipped as the top-selling device on Verizon's network to the No. 2 spot. The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx has replaced the iPhone at Verizon as the top-selling smartphone, according to Doradla. This is a big deal since the iPhone has been the top-selling smartphone at Verizon since it went on sale there in February 2011. In fact, the iPhone has been the leading smartphone for all three major wireless carriers offering the device. Doradla attributes the slip in sales to the fact that Verizon has been aggressively marketing its 4G LTE devices. In particular, the company has been pushing the Droid Razr Maxx. In fact, in May CNNMoney published a story about Verizon customers who had gone into retail locations wanting an iPhone being talked into buying an LTE Droid instead.
