Re: "heh yeah right" said by jsz0:There's no amount of money AT&T could pay Apple that would offset their profits going CDMA and opening a massive new market. Apple seems to have made the calculated choice that a certain percentage of early adopters would switch networks to get an iPhone so they were able to get a slick deal from AT&T and roll it out slowly. They're probably close (or exceeded) the number of users willing to break out of contracts and switch carriers. Who's going to want a CDMA iPhone when LTE is supposed to be getting rolled out from VZW at the end of next year?
I'd be more inclined to believe that Apple is going to make an LTE iPhone which all carriers could use, than a CDMA iphone for VZW only.
