CHICAGO--With the Apple iPhone launch less than two weeks away, Verizon sees its services and not a new iPhone-killing handset as the way to compete against rival AT&T, said CEO Ivan Seidenberg.

Seidenberg, who took questions from reporters about the iPhone Wednesday at a press conference here at the NXTcomm trade show, said that the company already has several new devices on the market and plans to continue adding to its lineup later in the year. But he also said the way Verizon plans to compete against AT&T, which is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone, is to emphasize its services.
