“As we cut through the hype on LTE, I believe Apple’s decision to wait may be the right one,” Cheney reports. “While the carriers are promising LTE as an upgrade path that will drive new applications and higher speeds, the reality is that 4G deployments will take much longer than the carriers are letting on.”
Cheney reports, “Apple doesn’t want to mess with the first generation of LTE chipsets, since they will be bulky and power hungry. Instead, Apple will make a unified model that works across 3G networks on all carriers, and innovate with incredible new features like NFC which mirror what they accomplished with FaceTime on iPhone 4. Apple simply doesn’t want to be the guinea pig on new LTE networks that aren’t ready for primetime, and Steve Jobs knows not to trust the hype that’s spewed by the carriers on 4G. The truth is that 3G networks have many more years of life, and the transition to LTE will be much slower than the carriers want you to believe.”

M-kay, what’s does “NFC feature” mean?

Verizon’s CEO recently told investors that they have over 60 major cities up & ready for LTE at the flip of a switch & will have more ready before the end of the year.
Not a rumor site or some unattributed background leak. CEOs can be sued for making false statements regarding such things. Take the facts and figure it out- Verizon will have the bulk of the nations population areas ready come January.

There will never be a Verizon iPhone. The next iPhone model will be compatible with both CDMA and GSM networks. It will be called iPhone 5?

NFC = Near Field Communication
To transmit and receive data from other NFC devices within close proximity, less than a foot away.
Used mostly for quick transactions, POS, Mass Transit Passes, device interactivity, etc…

A few people out there are suspecting App,e is about the do something huge in this area. It is useful for micro payments and such.

All the more reason to move to WM7. Do you really want to be saddled with these antiquated network standards when you can have the best now? Cut and paste will be here soon too!

Bet you can’t backup you statement.
If anything, this is the latest news about Verizon’s CEO a few weeks ago:
“Speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference on Thursday, Seidenberg suggested that the iPhone won’t come to Verizon’s network in the very near future (e.g., January), at least not until the carrier implements its fourth-generation (4G) LTE network, a process that’s already underway but won’t be completed until 2012.” http://www.pcworld.com/article/206099/dont_hold_your_breath_for_verizon_iphone_says_ceo.html?tk=mod_rel
“Verizon Wireless expects to fire up a network based on a “fourth-generation” wireless technology known as Long Term Evolution in 25 to 30 cities by the end of the year. It should have near-nationwide coverage by the end of 2012, Seidenberg said.
The network should allow for higher data speeds, but won’t be ready for phone calls. This year, Verizon expects to sell data modems for the network, with phones coming next year. The first phones will probably use Verizon’s older “3G” network for phone calls, since calling over 4G hasn’t been standardized yet. That complicates the design of phones for the system.” http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Verizon-CEO-hints-iPhone-not-apf-4067176510.html?x=0&.v=1

I don’t believe this rumor. It sounds good in theory but they’re better off making two separate phones so they can adjust production accordingly. They’ll still need a lot more GSM iPhones than CDMA models, afterall. I’ve never even heard of a dual mode phone made in such a high capacity that Apple would need, they’re usually very limited and that must be for a reason. Otherwise there’d be a hell of a lot more of these phones out there.
I think a dual mode phone brings too many headaches and uncertainties, and that’s the last thing Steve needs for the big transition next year.

Verizon. Getting the iPhone any day now since 2006

@ R2–
Since when does Apple look for success elsewhere before entering any market in any capacity?
Oh wait… They don’t.
Apple doesn’t need another company to do anything right first. If anything, the fact that no one else has done it right yet proves that Apple has an opportunity to corner yet another market.
