Apple Making Verizon-Ready iPhone by Year End
By YUKARI IWATANI KANE And TING-I TSAI
Apple Inc. plans to begin mass producing a new iPhone by the end of 2010 tha
t would allow Verizon Wireless to sell the smartphone early next year, said
people briefed by Apple.
The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by
AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CD
MA used by Verizon, these people said. The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is
providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of ne
xt year, according to the same people.
An Apple CDMA iPhone would spell the end of the exclusive U.S. arrangement w
ith Apple that AT&T has had since 2007, when the original iPhone debuted.
Separately, Apple is also developing a new iPhone model, said people briefed
on the matter. One person familiar with the new iPhone plan said the fifth-
generation iPhone will be a different form factor from those that are curren
tly available. It was unclear how soon that version will be available to Ver
izon.
Spokeswomen for Apple and Qualcomm declined to comment; a spokesman for Veri
zon Wireless, owned by Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, d
eclined to comment.
