CDMA iPhone shipments could reach 15 million in 2011

Verizon Wireless hasn’t even launched its iPhone 4 yet and rumored production numbers are already getting a rumored bump thanks to rumored strong demand. According to a new report from industry watcher DigiTimes, iPhone manufacturer Pegatron is ramping up CDMA iPhone production following a revised order from Apple. Apple is thought to have initially requested approximately 10 million CDMA iPhones from the company, but new deals in various regions may have caused Apple to increase its order. Now, according to channel checks, Pegatron will ship between 12 and 15 million CDMA iPhone units this year. Verizon Wireless is the only carrier known to be getting the CDMA version of Apple’s iPhone 4 at this point, and Foxconn is said to be building devices for the U.S. market — which would mean Pegatron’s upped production is the result of increased international demand. Total CDMA iPhone production between Foxconn and Pegatron is now thought to be between 27 and 30 million units.

    hop that Verizon will be smart and take all the upset ATT customers, but it will be very easy to loose it by being bad,
    what I say that if Verizon will be ATT #2 in customer service and un fair plains, it look like they will keep most of the inventory.

    Cool story, bro.

    • ItsMeBeaches

      It is a nice story but i find it interesting that there are more articles about the VZW iPhone which hasn’t launched yet than i can remember for ATT. =/

      I hope this lives up to the hype, i believe ATT cant compete with VZW without exclusivity of the iPhone (based off the fact their only beastly Android phone is coming out around the same time as the VZW iPhone.) We seen Verizon do a douchebag thing already by taking away early upgrades, so lets see ATT’s counter move….will they continue to play monkey see monkey do with Verizon? Or will they do something make their consumers happy? I hope the loss of the iPhone is as big of a deal as its being cracked up to be, because as an ATT consumer and future Atrix owner i wanna see some more consumer friendly campaign from ATT. If losing the iPhone is as big a deal as they claim it to be, ATT will die unless they change.

        I can agree with you on most of what you said, as I’m also an AT&T customer. I will also be picking up the Atrix. However, I don’t think they will shed as many customers as people think. If there’s an LTE iPhone this summer, that could change things, as AT&T won’t have much LTE coverage, which will give VZW a good leg up. But I too hope some changes happen now that the iPhone is on multiple carriers.

        AT&T will be just fine without Iphone exclusive. One phone will not be the demise of AT&T they will get more highend Android phones as well as WP7. AT&T has begun to make major moves to combat the exclusive loss of the Iphone. They are also upgrading there network also to HSPA+ and adding LTE along side of that so their whole entire network will be 4G. If T-Mobile calls thier HSPA+ 4G then I assume AT&T will also.

        Huh?

        They trying to beat Verizon releasing they’re powerhouse Android handsets. Also they are offering a distraction and new choices for old and prospective new customers. Not to mention, proving that they held off on Android until they lost iPhone exclusivity. Proving that just like the iPhone has found another carrier, they can find other powerhouse handsets to compete. And also showing that they still have direction even after the iPhone. One device won’t break AT&T.

        It’ll be interesting to see how many people that left AT&T, and didn’t have coverage issues, will be happy with the iPhone on Verizon.

      Will you be buying the iPhone 5 when it comes out mid-year? How about the LTE version that will likely come out within a year? Dear god people, don’t be sheep.

    I think if I were in the market for a CDMA iPhone, I’d be waiting until the LTE version comes out.

    Its that true??

  • StevenGlansburg

    Its coming to Sprint. I know for a fact.

  • Alexus 2

    Well, Verizon has been hinting at the Iphone for years over 7years now . While having customers settle with an Andriod or any other equipment that wasn’t near as SWEET as the original Iphone from AT&T

  • Triagebay

    Guess no one cares what the data plans for Verizon will cost and that the cost is being purposely withheld . Gues no one care about possibie combo gsm-cdma iphone 5 coming in June/July

      so far I agree with you, I am going to keep my iphones 4 microsim because of my unlimited data,plain that I have,

  • Bigbudha

    Lte is gsm techno.

  • Supermex

    Honestly I can’t see people who know the main differences between CDMA and GSM switching. Verizons 3G speeds are super slow compared to AT&T and no simultaneous voice and data will hurt them.

    That seems like more than Verizon is likely to sell on their own.

  • Steinbeano

    That’s a lot of year old technology being sold.
