Analyst: Verizon and Apple still "ironing out" details of the pair's iPhone deal
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
For the moment, it would appear that both parties are thinking about using SVDO before switching over to LTE. SVDO is a technology that allows for simultaneous voice and data. Verizon's pipelines currently have different voice and data delivery methods, which could limit the use of certain iPhone apps on Verizon. The carrier is said to working on Voice over Revision A (VoRA) which would merge the delivery of voice and data over Verizon's EV-DO network.
Wu also notes that it would be "premature" to rule out T-Mobile or Sprint as possible recipients of the iPhone. Together, the two carriers serve 82 million customers, many of whom would no doubt love to see Apple's touchscreen device on their current network. Thanks to the strong momentum that Android phones have had in the U.S. over the last 10 months, Apple needs to let the iPhone become available on other carriers in order to sustain the strong sales growth that the device has had this year, thanks to its first redesign.

This is getting as ridiculous as Brett Favre's retirement announcements.

Im sick of hearing this crap. However I am glad VZW is not giving into Apples demands.. Personally I could care less if it ever goes to another carrier.

You obviously care about the iPhone, otherwise why would you open up this article AND post a comment, about something you claim you don't care about?

Wrong. What i care about is all these phone sites repoting this bs for 3 years now with no solid evidence of it actually happening. That then spills over to the forums and causes all these stupid arguments about android is better...no the iphone is.... They just need to shut up until the have a release date for everyone. Im sure the hype will not die down any if they dont release some bs statement every month.

I disagree, I read EVERY article on here. Does that mean I care about phones in the UK? I don't care about them, although I may post on an article if it makes sense.

+1 to you sir... and the forums obviously do it on purpose just to stir up these arguments just to get us all spun up and creat traffic on their sites.

I say Apple just goes the route of the Nexus One. Why don't they just sell an unlocked Apple iPhone and an AT&T iPhone in their stores.? Then, everybody's happy.! :D

I think he covered that under "Apple iPhone AND an AT&T iPhone".

After seeing Froyo on Droid 2 .... I have lost all interest in the iPhone. Looking forward to WP7 and compare them to the latest Androids on the market to make my final call on what I'm getting next.

I have a relative that works for Apple, and they just purchased a mass amount of CDMA parts, so it will hit either Sprint or Verizon.

THIS JUST IN: Verizon and Apple are either discussing or not discussing a VZW iPhone and it may or may not happen in 2011 or 2012, and Apple might also go with T Mobile or Sprint.
