Who said Verizon wanted this? This rumor shows us that Apple may be building phones that use the same type of network Verizon does. Verizon isn't the only carrier that uses CDMA, this may be something wordwide. It's just that some people infer this as Verizon itself but that may not be the case.
And in all honesty, I don't believe this rumor.
Your my favorite guy so far just because you make sence
