Fortune: Verizon iPhone confirmed for ‘early 2011′

Rumor October 29, 2010

When this Verizon iPhone situation is all said and done, the iPhone will, in all likelihood, go down in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most confirmed, unconfirmed device in electronics-history. In an exposé about Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg, Fortune can’t seem to steer clear of Apple and the iPhone. Noting Seidenberg’s success in transforming Verizon from a $13 billion per year business into a $108 billion per year business, Fortune quipps that “every tech company” — including Apple — “must find a way to partner with it [Verizon].” The beginning of the article contains the line that the entire blogosphere, and most of the mainstream media, will latch on to: “Fortune has confirmed that a Verizon iPhone will be released in early 2011.” There it is, your definitive, Verizon, CDMA, iPhone, it’s really happening, rumor of the week.

    I will say this again, and some of you will get mad. CDMA carriers are often behind!! 3-4 years guys!!

  • MicroNix

    You mean the CDMA carriers that don’t drop calls like the rest? Like you know something about cellular technology….

    This is strangely reminding me of The Boy who Cried Wolf. So many times have we heard “Verizon iPhone has been confirmed” by several sources that it has started to get annoying. Just wait, when (if) the iPhone is finally released on Verizon, people, instead of being all hyped that it’s finally out, will instead just shrug and move on.

    I could see the benefit of this if the Iphone 5 launches on VZ. If this thing gets released early 2011 then it will be 6 months behind the launch of Iphone 5 on ATT. Your pretty much guaranteeing yourself to be behind the curve.

    Can’t wait for the iphone to arrive at verizon.

    Did Verizon state they are coming out with the IPhone? I believe that would be a big NO! This is still speculation and probably would not see if for a very long time. I am not say Verizon will never get it, but it is unlikely that it will be anytime soon.
