A CDMA version of the iPhone has been a rumor for a long time now, but Bloomberg says it won't be a rumor for much longer. The site is claiming that Verizon, the largest U.S mobile phone company will finally introduce coverage for Apple's iPhone early next year (as soon as January). Bloomberg is reporting that two familiar sources shared inside information about AT&T's iPhone exclusivity coming to an end.
Verizon Wireless, which is currently working hard on rolling out a high-speed fourth-generation network, is expected to include the iPhone in its big new product unveiling in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. The iPhone being covered on another network will dramatically improve performance and user experience for both AT&T and Verizon customers because the network expansion will reduce the burdens that are currently present on AT&T's congested network, due to it being the solo carrier of the iPhone in the U.S.
Analyst John Hodulik from UBS AG tells Bloomberg that Apple is going to drastically "increase the number of devices it sells in the US when exclusivity at AT&T ends."he also mentioned how its "hard to ignore the quality issues AT&T has faced." Niether Apple, AT&T, or Verizon are commenting on the Bloomberg report released, which makes it seem the iPhone coming to Verizon is more than just a mere possibility. There are some folks out there who believe this is all a stunt and that Verizon is releasing this information just to get people to hold off from purchasing their iPhone 4 right now while they release their "hot new phone lineup."
