Screenshot shows potential Verizon iPhone

January Clearance Blowout ends 1/14“Sources have provided a screen capture from an iPhone in the San Francisco Bay Area that shows ‘Verizon’ as the carrier ID,” Electronista reports.

“The tip comes with warnings that no more information can be disclosed just this moment but also that more should become apparent in the near future,” Electronista reports. “While the capture itself (only a portion of which is seen below for the sake of the source) is believed to be genuine, the authenticity of the ID itself is difficult to determine.”

“Readers should take severe caution as it’s possible to fake the carrier ID with a modified iPhone,” Electronista reports. “However, such a modification would be unusual as current iPhones use GSM, not CDMA, and would expose the inaccuracy of trying to associate a present-day model with an incompatible network.”

MacDailyNews Note: To snap a screenshot of any iPhone screen, simply hold the “Home” button then press and release the “Sleep” button on top right of the iPhone. The screenshot will be in your iPhone’s “Camera Roll.”

Today is Martin Luther King Day, a U.S. federal holiday. The markets are closed today in the U.S. and many people have the day off. Consequently, we expect news to be light, although we do hope to bring you Apple-related news throughout the day.
