Niagara Falls, NY | Not happening Apple won't create a separate phone with a CDMA radio in it just for Verizon. That just flies in the face of how they do business.
Apple will do whatever makes them the most money. That may mean staying exclusive with AT&T, that may mean opening up to T-Mobile as well.
Either way, the iPhone will stay GSM only until Verizon gets LTE up. At that point it would only make sense to build phones with dual mode GSM/LTE modems and open up to Verizon too. |

Do not forget, all current model iPhones/iPads would not support 3G on T-Mobile's network - Only EDGE Support - due to the use of a different 3G Frequency from the one AT&T (and the iPhone/iPad) uses. To truly support T-mobile would require a newer model with dual T-Mobile/AT&T 3G Frequency support. Any attempt to allow T-Mobile support otherwise would be guaranteed to generate complaints from T-Mobile iPhone/iPad users about the slow (ie: EDGE) speeds. |
