“Apple Inc. plans to begin mass producing a new iPhone by the end of 2010 that would allow Verizon Wireless to sell the smartphone early next year, said people briefed by Apple,” Yukari Iwatani Kane and Ting-I Tsai report for The Wall Street Journal.
“The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CDMA used by Verizon, these people said,” Kane and Tsai report. “The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year, according to the same people.”
“Separately, Apple is also developing a new iPhone model, said people briefed on the matter,” Kane and Tsai report. “One person familiar with the new iPhone plan said the fifth-generation iPhone will be a different form factor from those that are currently available.”

Even if Apple would build such a phone for Verizon, I still would not switch to Verizon. That leech of a company will continue to screw you despite giving back that $50 million miscellaneous chargesthat that was supposedly due to an “glitch.” Glitch, my ass. They got caught!!

With iPhone on Verizon on one side and Microsoft extorting manufacturers to use Windows 7 phone on the other, Android will be in a world of hurt next year.
Look for a 10% to 15% reduction in US Android market share next year.
All bets are off if WebOS makes an HP comeback.

Verizon would have to decide to loosen their draconian grasp of content before this happens, because there is no way Apple degrades/alters/whatever the iPhone experience for any carrier.
But both companies would make a killing if they could arrive at an agreement.

No wonder the country is in a shit can.
Journalist turned into analyst.
I bet once the 2nd quarter hits next year this clown along with all the other clowns making bad “analysis” will still have a job. Mean while causing stocks to go up and down with no true substance coming down the pipe.
Tell those idiots to stop looking to twitter facebook or their txt msg from the their intern who slept with a bartender who heard from a couple guys who they think work at apple and overheard what they said who’s friend is trying so damn to make it in their career trying to do it like in the movies.
If there was going to be any news on the iPhone there will an apple’esk type of event. Until then sit tight and quit with the verizon BS. Look at the phones verizon is subject to get excluded the almighty iPhone. Every phone they get is marketed against and fits in so perfectly with what verizon already loves to do, have complete control over everything that has to do with them. So use some common sense besides the whole well it would be only logical to have more than one carrier bs. Hey it would be nice to have the Sunday NFL package with cable, but no it’s ONLY on directtv. But guess what, they are doing just fine don’t cha think.

If true, the timing would be a great followup to a blockbuster, record breaking Xmas quarter, which would make the next seasonally slow quarter also a blockbusting one – $350+.

@hairbo
they cant be that fussy, out of 6 networks in the uk only one offers visual voicemail, which isnt down to apple’s end but it could have made it a clause in them being allowed to sell the phone.
Granted they don’t brand them or put software on but not all the features apple advertise are over here on all networks.
Also i dont know why you lot get worked up over Verizon – Vodafone own a large share and they are total shite.

why does everyone assume that even if Apple is making a CDMA phone it is for VZN? Even if they do it is more likely for China and maybe Sprint.
The WSJ is very believable lately..lol, just in the past week. Windows mobile coming exclusively to AT&T…whoops I mean T-Mobile

Until Apple confirms it I don’t believe it. The trash bins of the world are littered with the rumors generated by so-called people in the know. The WSJ is no exception.

We’ve been hearing these rumors since June 2007.
Oh, so NOW, suddenly these rumors are accurate?!
We’ve been hearing this exact same B.S. every single year.

“APPLE. DOESN’T. NEED. VERIZON.”
It may not be a matter of need. It could simply be want. Apple WANTS Verizon customers, because they want to make money.
Nobody ever said that a Verizon iPhone meant Steve is on his knees begging for a chance to be on their network. It’s business, people. Sometimes it’s just business.

Verizon has over 40 cities ready to switch on LTE and will have more ready by the end of the year. The 1st carrier agnostic iPhone in the US will sport LTE- in January.

How to generate clicks 101:
IPHONE ON VERIZON!
That’s getting so old.
I’ll believe it when Apple and Verizon announce it. Anything else is just bullshit.

The twilight of the analyst gods. The Wall Street Journal is pushing past the very last bit of credibility it has left for the pursuit of a few thousand dollars in clicks. The Marketplace version of this story even has the nerve/carelessness to say “Apple has announced production of a CDMA iPhone capable of working on Verizon Wireless’ network. Yukari Kane of the Wall Street Journal joins Rex Crum to discuss when consumers can expect the phone on Verizon.”

China Telecom.
Just because a phone is “Verizon-ready” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s coming to Verizon.
This is just more of the short seller’s game, let’s pump up the stock, then hope to make it dive when the rumors are revealed to be twisted….

Perhaps not, but AT&T’s iPhone customers do need Verizon (or some other carrier) to take some of the load off of AT&T over-burdened network. They need it bad!

I just checked 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino CA 95014 with Google Earth. I could not see any Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile cell towers, only the ATnT tower that’s been there since 2006.
When Apple had its iPhone antenna get-together earlier this year, Steve Jobs casually mentioned there are AT&T and Verizon cell sites on the Apple campus.
