said by burgerwars:But is CDMA where the developed world is heading, or is it just becoming a low-cost option for underdeveloped countries?
Meh, since when does Apple care about such things? They rolled out the intial iPhone dressed soley in GSM when the developed world was headed towards W-CDMA. And what happened? They eventually deliver an iPhone with W-CDMA capability and sell even more devices than during the inital launch. So why not roll out a CDMA/GSM/W-CDMA iPhone for the US and any other countries with CDMA that are affluent enough? Then the next year add an LTE and/or WiMax radio to the mix and sell even more devices then!
