I can't wait for the iPhone to be on Verizon so that all of you folks that are unhappy with AT&T can switch over and stop all your whining and bitching about AT&T!

Oh... wait.. that won't stop you from whining and bitching! You'll just have new things to whine and bitch about! :rolleyes:

Lol @ Giz not getting an invite. About time Verizon got the iphone. Now a real surprise would be the iphone 5 debuting in January with Verizon and wouldnt be available for AT & T for months. That would be a real shocker.
 
More Confirmation Verizon iPhone to Launch on January 11th

Unlikely this is to announce the iPhone. Verizon is running a big ad campaign to promote 4G LTE, this is most likely to introduce the ThunderBolt.
 
Last year verizon did the same thing, they had this huge announcement to make and everybody got all worked up and swore it was the iPhone. What was it? A half baked relationship with skype. This year it will probably be with Martha Stewart or something. Yawn....

That would suck for sure. But if they were going to release the iPhone 5 in January with Verizon, I would hope they change their annual release date for AT&T to be the same. Otherwise there will be more unhappy folks out there.
 
No one cares about tmobile or sprint.... They will probably get the iphone eventually without much fanfare. (ps I have t-mobile so i'm not hating just don't think there are enough subscribers to be worth any significant rumors)

You mean T-Mobile in the US doesn't have the iPhone? It does in the UK, weird.
 
think u buy a iphone 4 4 mouths later iphone 5 comes out but ur stuck with a 2 year contract

Yea but normal people dont care/know that a new one is around the corner. Apple wil get their money plus everyone who buys 5 plus those who then sell their 4 and get the 5
 
BalderDash!!!!

This is a RUMOR SITE!!!!

Next thing you know someone will claim they saw Elvis calling Michael Jackson on a "white" iPhone with a Verizon logo on it.....:D

Yes, but there has been a whole lot more evidence than ever before come out in the last 2-3 days pointing to the iPhone on Verizon. I for one am believing these rumors.

Wont happen.if they introduce a new iPhone jobs is doing it at apple's campus
 
I can never tell if people here dislike Gizmodo because they just don't like the site, or because they dared cross the almighty Steve.


The latter.

Gizmodo did nothing wrong. Apple was stupid to lose the iPhone 4. If Microsoft lost a prototype and all was posted on Gizmodo, people here would love Gizmodo.
 
Verizon iPhone- guaranteed Apple saved the white one for them.
Apple is pissed at AT&T.

Mark my words.
 
For all you naysayers, you do realize that the Wall Street Journal is an actual real newspaper with decades of high-quality journalism behind it, right? It's not some random blogger in his parents' basement spewing out rumors. For the WSJ to say it's a Verizon iPhone announcement means that they've verified this information from multiple independent sources.

It would make sense if both Verizon and AT&T got a slightly improved version of the iPhone 4, possibly called the iPhone 4S, at the same time (or a couple of months later for AT&T), with the iPhone 5 arriving in 2012. I'm a Verizon customer and I know it would suck if my new iPhone got replaced only 4 months later.
 
My 2 cents:

If this is indeed the Verizon iPhone announcement, I can see it being the "new" iPhone 5. If the leaked parts that were shown earlier, depicting changes to the antennae are legit, it would make sense that the next gen is only a minor update with GSM/CDMA capabilities and a tweaked antennae (hence sim card slot). Apple may have given Verizon exclusivity for a few months, before it rolls out to everyone else this summer.

I guess we'll all find out Tues.

P.S. I can't personally wait to dump this Verizon Droid Eris!

I can't believe that Verizon would hold a media event to promote a 3G phone when they've pumped big money into their 4G LTE.

As to the evidence of the iPhone on Verizon, there's no creditable evidence that I've seen. It the same rumors and speculation that crops up about every six months.

Then wait til June when the new one is released. Tuesdays phone will be the 4
 
I think it would be hilarious if the event had nothing to do with the iPhone. I do wish to see a Verizon iPhone, but with the EXTREME quantities of rumors it would be funny. I also find it funny how many people believe it was fact that the CES announcement by Verizon would bring the iPhone since the Wall Street Journal posted an article. Well then it must be true!
