There is a lot of rumor about when the next iPhone, the Verizon iPhone, will be out in January.\u00a0 I have to admit that this does 2 things, it puts the iPhone out of the standard development cycle and releases a phone onto a brand new network, an UNTESTED network.\u00a0 Well, the network trials are going on now and limited user trials are rumored to be going on now.<\/p>\n
LTE or 4G is being rolled out this January by Verizon.\u00a0 LTE is built on the 700MHz band that was purchased a few years ago by Verizon and AT&T.\u00a0 The promised speeds can be up to 5 – 12 Mbps.\u00a0 This is different from Sprint’s 4G service which is WiMax and it is not based on the 700MHz radio band.<\/p>\n
There are several articles on Verizon’s 4G network and the Verizon iPhone.\u00a0 What I think we will see is an iPhone 4[X], or 4G, that is the same device with the 700MHz chip set.\u00a0 That way there will be a phone that covers the new services being rolled out by Verizon and AT&T in 2011.\u00a0 It makes sense that even if Verizon is rolling out the new service in January that Apple would wait until the summer before delivering the new device; that way Apple will cover 2 networks at once.\u00a0 I believe there will be an announcement in January and the phone in late June.\u00a0 Apple likes to plan things out and deliver their products with panache.<\/p>\n

Adam from MacCast<\/a> also supports my beliefs on the full 700MHz spectrum iPhone 4.\u00a0 It was also discussed on TWIT.tv on TWiT #260<\/a> and TNT #49<\/a>.\u00a0 Some of the panelists feel the same way, others share their points of view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is a lot of rumor about when the next iPhone, the Verizon iPhone, will be out in January.\u00a0 I have to admit that this does 2 things, it puts the iPhone out of the standard development cycle and releases a phone onto a brand new network, an UNTESTED network.\u00a0 Well, the network trials are […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[614,704,6,257,171,705,513,172,313,706,448,5,240,707],"class_list":["post-1567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article","tag-4g","tag-700mhz","tag-apple","tag-att","tag-iphone","tag-lte","tag-maccast","tag-mobile-phones","tag-networks","tag-tnt-show","tag-twit","tag-updates","tag-verizon","tag-wimax"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1567\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ironwil.net\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
