What Will Come First, The Verizon iPhone or the iPhone 5?

What Will Come First, The Verizon iPhone or the iPhone 5?

According to rumors, the much anticipated Verizon iPhone is set to be released before the end of the first quarter in 2011, and with 2011 only two weeks away, people are starting to get antsy and many news sources are beginning to doubt the launch of this rare treasure.

Why all the doubts? Well even though reputable sources like the Wall Street Journal and Fortune Magazine have said that the Verizon iPhone will be the first great must-have item early next year, Apple and Verizon have yet to comment on all of the rumors.  Instead, Apple continues to focus on “big announcements” like the Beatles coming to iTunes and the Verizon iPad, while Verizon continues to push their Droid.

Of course Apple, taking a cue from Dr. Frank-N-Furter, has always done a great job at building antici………pation, which makes questioning their current actions a moot point.  Verizon, on the other hand, has not been one to keep secrets, and with their dwindling profits this year, it seems that they would benefit from jumping in to confirm this rumor for the salivating masses.

Apple has little need to worry about building a customer base for their smart phone leader, which continues to control the majority of the U.S. market, as Apple and AT&T have sold 2.5 times more iPhone 4’s than Verizon has sold Droids.  Because of this, Apple can keep their lips as sealed as they want, and they are definitely sticking to a vow of silence on this one.

Still, there are plenty of little clues that point to a CDMA enabled iPhone in production.  This includes “leaks from reputable sources” as Fortune Magazine suggests, as well as job postings that Apple has put up for CDMA developers.  Finally, the most important clue is that this Verizon iPhone rumor hasn’t been squashed.  Since the iPhone came to market, consumers began postulating about the illusive Verizon iPhone and every time a rumor popped up, it was quickly squashed, but this rumor has continued since before Q4.

So while some are starting to worry that 2011 won’t bring a Verizon iPhone before Apple unveils the iPhone 5 (which is likely to be in June when Apple always releases iPhone updates), this reporter has AT&T on speed dial ready to cancel her account and enter the world of 4G, with a Verizon iPhone 4 before spring comes to Seattle.
