iPhone 4G, Apple To Partner With Verizon
January 20th, 2010 | Author: jared premo
Could it finally happen? Could Verizon and Apple be planning to partner up with the 4th generation iPhone this summer? A report in TheStreet.com is any indication; Apple is equipping the next iPhone with CDMA chips built by Qualcomm. Verizon is a CDMA network, and AT&T runs on a GSM network.
We know that the exclusivity deal with AT&T is due to end in the summer, so will we see Apple and Verizon joining hands in 2010? Phones Review said that the Verizon network is not ready just yet for the iPhone. The funny thing is, Apple did go to Verizon first but it seems that they had too many demands for them, which is why AT&T got and still has the deal with the iPhone.
"iPhone"
You would have thought that Verizon would be doing all they can to get a deal with Apple and its iPhone; after all, it is the best selling handset on the market. No matter what new smartphone is launched, none of them can compete with the iPhone 3GS.
Verizon recently launched the Motorola Droid; sales have not made a dent in the iPhone 3GS. Google launched its Nexus One; its sales have been laughably. Just imagine what sales will be like for the rumored iPhone 4G, which is rumored to be released in the first part of this year.
