New Verizon iPhone Picture Leaked

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There has been much news lately about an upcoming Verizon Wireless iPhone. Talks of the Verizon iPhone have been circulating since last year, if not longer, but it seems that this year they’re a bit different. The recent rumors/announcements have been more in depth and what Ivan Seidenberg, Verizon CEO, said about wanting Verizon to carry the new iPhone “4G” makes them seem much, much more convincing.

The picture to the right is a newly released photo of what is being called the new “Verizon iPhone”. As you can see, the back (probably) immediately reminds you of the iPad’s aluminum back. Also, the iPhone in the image also looks to be of a slightly different size than the current iPhone (some rumors have said that the new iPhone 4G will have a larger screen). The only thing that looks a bit “sketchy” as of now, is the quality of the image. The fuzziness could easily be hiding some “evidence” of fantastic PhotoShop-ing skills. It’s up to you, the reader, to decide whether or not this image is viable.

The only reason why Apple wouldn’t make a Verizon iPhone, would probably be that either their exclusivity contract with AT&T still hasn’t expired or that AT&T will pay them off. Verizon Wireless is currently the largest wireless provider in the United States. If Apple doesn’t release the new iPhone on Verizon, it will be an incredibly ignorant notion.

Verizon CEO Covets the iPhone

On Tuesday, April 6, 2010, the chief executive officer of Verizon, Ivan Seidenberg, told Apple that Verizon would like to carry the iPhone. He also referenced a report saying that Apple is indeed working on a CDMA-capable iPhone.

For those who don’t know, Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access method utilized by various radio communication technologies. This is the type of technology that both Verizon and Sprint use in their phones, while carriers such as T-Mobile and AT&T use SIM cards (the current iPhones require this technology).

Seindenberg did not say whether the iPhone will come to Verizon or not. He also quoted a report from late March that said a two new iPhones are in development, one being CDMA-capable. Hopefully this report is verifiable and Apple does agree to move the iPhone to Verizon. Talks of the iPhone moving to Verizon have been going on for a while now so nothing can be certain thus far.

It is interesting, however, that Seindenberg’s comments have come almost immediately before Apple’s preview to the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 this Thursday, April 8. The 4.0 OS will likely be released, however, not until early summer. Hopefully Verizon will finally get the iPhone and being the largest wireless provider in the United States, I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

Leave a comment below and tell us what you think about all of this and whether or not  you’re excited about there possibly being a Verizon iPhone.

Apple’s January 2010 Event Dissapointment

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

Everyone is slightly disappointed about the today’s Apple Event, although, the new Apple tablet confirmed at the conference as the iPad is a work of art, but it’s still a bit disappointing that all of this hype was for one gadget.

We would have loved to hear something about the all new iPhone (4G) or something about its 4.0 operating system, which everyone was speculating about, but nothing.

All this hype for one device. Yes this one device is definitely something we will get but come on Steve Jobs we want an all new iPhone. Maybe one will be announced a little later in the year, and what about Verizon getting their mitts on the iPhone train, or indeed mentioning something about the iPhone AT&T exclusivity (which I was really looking forward to).

We did not even hear anything about the OS 4.0, this this gives us a hint that Apple will hold another event soon, we might be mistaken but come on, they have to reveal an all new iPhone like they have the last few years. Apple has not missed a year since the iPhone 2G model.

We will keep you posted, if we hear any more about the above we will let you know as soon as possible. Please comment below
