Will There Be A Verizon IPhone Release Date?
When the iPhone was released in 2007, non AT and T cell customers have been hoping for a Verizon iPhone release date. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal article seemed to confirm a Verizon iPhone release date. The WSJ article stated that the Verizon iPhone release date might be in September or October. Some market watchers are saying that the iPhone Verizon release date is a rumor that simply isn’t supported. Are these rumors true? Should you go get payday loans to pay for this Verizon iPhone?
Network compatibility determines Verizon iPhone release date
The Wall Street Journal report quotes several unnamed sources that are “close to Verizon” in saying that the Verizon iPhone release date will be in fall of this year. A thinner, faster iPhone is also rumored to be in the works. Both of these rumors are based on the belief that Apple is working on a CDMA wireless network processor.
Qualcomm has confirmed that they are designing a CDMA chip for Apple, but it would be very difficult to launch the chip in 2010. Not even the promise of easy cash loans can help speed the chip along. If Qualcomm really is manufacturing the Apple CDMA chip, the iPhone would need to be re manufactured to work with the new chip.
2011 is target date for Verizon iPhone release
There are technology issues with the possibility of a Verizon iPhone release date, yes. The WSJ article quote says that Apple only “appears to be” working on a Verizon-compatible handset. Apple has not made it a big secret that they are working on a CDMA or WCDMA chip for iPhones.
Apple “appears to be working on” a Verizon iPhone, but that does not mean it will be released this year. Most people who watch the wireless industry seem to agree that the Verizon iPhone will release - but not until 2011.
