I-Phone Going to Verizon?
So I hear that the I-Phone is going to Verizon. There are multiple debates about where it is going. Apple was supposedly making two I-Phones this summer, and one was supposed to be running on the CDMA network. And I am not sure what the other runs on. Verizon is powered by CDMA also, so the I-Phone and Verizon have some sort of connection. At&t runs on the other one which I don't know about. Also, there are manny articles that I have searched that say official debut is January 2011. There are a lot of evidence saying that it willA CDMA-based iPhone would likely sell 2-3 million units in the first few weeks (modeled after iPhone 4's oversubscribed launch). The lead-time associated with upside in the semiconductor world is huge, sometimes as long as 26 weeks (supply is tight right now so this rule is in effect and Apple had major supply problems with the iPhone 4 and iPad).You may also remember our earlier report about Verizon rumored to be getting the iPhone in January 2011 that adds to this buzz. So, it seems the rumors are adding up to reality. So, if Verizon does get the iPhone, it's also rumored that millions of existing Verizon customers will switch to the iPhone in a heartbeat, while several other million jump the AT&T ship and climb onto Verizon's boat.
