Verizon claims next iPhone will work abroad

Apple's yesterday earnings callanswered quite a few questions, but just mentioning something aboutfuture products made acting CEO Tim Cook quickly turn close-mouthed.Luckily, Verizon had something more to say today as Fran Shammo, CFOof Big Red, said that the next iPhone offered by the carrier willwork on overseas networks.



The revealing statement, made during aconference call with analysts discussing Verizon's quarterly results, suggests strongly that the next-gen iPhone will come withdual CDMA/GSM radios. The iPhone puzzle is slowly starting toget solved as Tim Cook hinted strongly that 4G LTE will not bepresent in the next handset by Apple. “The first generation of LTEchipsets force a lot of design compromises with the handset, and someof those, we are just not willing to make,” Cook explainedyesterday writing off yet another rumor.
