Verizon Media Event Scheduled for January 11th: iPhone Announcement?

iPhone 5?

Why does everyone think the next iPhone is going to be called the iPhone 5. First we had the iPhone then the iPhone 3g then the iPhone 3gs then the iPhone 4 so im pretty sure the next one will be the iPhone 4G meaning it probably won't be that different from the iPhone 4. But I'll still be getting it anyways cuz i'm a #AppleFanBoy

Just sayin but hey what do I know? ;)

Well, I never said never, always thought it would be in 2013 when verizon has fully converted to LTE, but lately I've been thinking this summer, though that's now somewhat in doubt because of the event for next week, but it's odd that it's a verizon event and not an apple event.

4. january is the 1st year anniversary of the iPad announcement, maybe the iPad


So, I hope its the iPhone for Verizon, but I'm not 100% sure. Meanwhile I keep waiting for the iPad2 and OSX Tiger news.

iphone1 = iPhone (the original)
iphone2 = iPhone 3G
iphone3 = iPhone 3GS
iphone4 = iPhone 4
iphone5 = to be announced

--> iphone5 is used because it is the 5th iPhone, the 'official' name might be different

Lol if this was the iPhone why isn't verizons CEO doing this?
 
Apple didnt hold a special event to announce Verizon would carry the iPad during the holiday shopping period, it was just kind of announced and let it be.
I think something of this long awaited magnitude would benefit something Verizon would surely love to bank in on, no question about it.
Apple doesn't specifically need to hold a special even for this announcement if it turns out to be the Verizon iPhone

Its not a new product, so why would it be a apple event? Same model phone going to a different carrier is all.
 
having my iphone 3g screen crack today might be the best thing. especially since my 2 year contract ended this week :D
 
Just one question...
WHY would you buy an CDMA iPhone 4 in February when, its probable that the iPhone 5 (GSM&CDMA in 1 phone) is coming out in.. oh say June?
 
LMAO!

All these ppl who want an iPhone from a company that can't even handle a simple image compression...

Or did they over compress it because they were close to their cap this month.

Pa-freaking-thetic. Wait till they actually have to deal with it. This could be a train-wreck.

I hope this doesn't have anything to do with an Apple product. Verizon announcing an iPhone or iPad would make it appear Verizon is calling the shots instead of Apple. It's already starting to look like Verizon is abusing Android (Bing on the Galaxy S?!), and basically coaxed Google into changing its stance on net neutrality. I only fear how Verizon would abuse a relationship with Apple.

No need to worry about your anxiety. Tim has the situation well in hand. VW came to Apple on it's knees last August. iOS is not Android. Apple is not Google.

The pulled phone video on Wed was played perfectly. The day before CES. Just a tease, yet more substantial than a typical leak. Video ends with "more to come shortly". Video shut down within an hour. Apple knew this was coming.

So a little underlying current at CES, not too much mind you. Just enough to keep Steve's image in your minds.

Then "Boom". You get this today. The Masters at work.

The Assimilation Continues. :apple:

Because it might not work that way. February is CDMA iphone, june/july is GSM iphone. June/july 2011 is GSM/CDMA LTE iPhone all in one.
 
This IS the iPhone on Verizon event. More evidence...

1. Several major Apple tech writers from TechCrunch and other websites are reporting they have been invited, and this is the first time they have ever been invited by Verizon for anything. Why? Because they are going to cover Verizon's new Apple product, the iPhone.

2. Gizmodo.com gets invited to all Verizon events, always, and has a good relationship with them. For the first time in years they have NOT been invited to this Verizon event. Why? Because Steve Jobs hates them for outing the stolen iPhone.

My prediction is the event will be fairly short. Expect the President of Verizon to come out and welcome the crowd and turn it over to a special guest... out comes Steve Jobs. Steve talks about expanding the iPhone to another carrier, what it will do for iOS marketshare in the US vs. Android and then finally explains the subtle differences in Verizon's version of the iPhone 4. He then turns it back to the Verizon President who explains cost, plans, and why they are better solution for iPhone users than AT&T. Phone will launch in the first two weeks of Feb, either on the 3rd or 10th.

Apple will have a keynote for the iPad "2" in late Feb or around the 1st of March for launch by the end of March.

Sorry, you were still wrong. And your uncle is a dick.
