Verizon + iPhone: Good News for Apple

We have been talking about Verizon iPhone for a couple of years now. It is not as if iPhone will have less issues on Verizon network. Nevertheless, consumers want to have carrier options when it comes to picking up a smart-phone that locks them in a 2 year contract. For Apple, a Verizon iPhone is a huge opportunity. It’s going to open a lot of new doors for the company and let it stay competitive against the Android army. Apparently, consumers can’t wait to get their hands on CDMA iPhone either.

According to a survey, conducted by Morpace, reported by PC Magazine, 29% of phone owners would switch to Verizon to get their hands on CDMA iPhone. About 20 percent of T-Mobile customers, 22 percent of Sprint customers, and 23 percent of AT&T customers are willing to switch to Verizon to get their hands on iPhone. That is great news for Apple and should give the company the boost it needs to take its plan a step further and take iPhone to T-Mobile and other carriers too. Read the rest of this entry »

Verizon iPhone N92 To Have a 1.2 GHz Processor?

When it comes to iPhone rumors, most of them tend to be inaccurate and somewhat wild. But we can’t deny that when there is smoke somewhere, there is probably some fire too. Experts have been talking about the possibility of Verizon getting the iPhone sometime in 2011. Apparently, this new device is already in the works and has its own code-name too (N92).

John Gruber is absolutely right about one thing: Verizon is going to sell a ton of these CDMA iPhones. The device is expected to have a 1.2 Ghz processor, so it’s going to be super fast. It will have a 3.7 inch retina display too. The release date seems to be sometime in early Spring 2011. Perhaps Verizon will announce this device at CES. Read the rest of this entry »

Terminator iPhone Not Too Far Away?

The last time we heard about liquid metal, it was chasing the leader of the resistance and his mother around relentlessly. Apparently, Apple is interested in using shiny new material in its upcoming toys, making its products even harder to beat in the looks and toughness departments. How else can you explain Apple going after an exclusive agreement with LiquidMetal. Liquid metal looks like glass and is very shiny, but it’s super tough too. What does Apple to do with it? The company’s plans are not clear at this point.

Liquid metal alloys may look like glass but they are not translucent, which is a bummer. These materials are quite exotic, so don’t expect Apple to turn everything to liquid metal. Read the rest of this entry »
