As we posted before here: Breaking news: Steve Jobs to join at Verizon iphone launch event.?
Verizon is going to carry the iphone4 and will make the annoucement this Tuesday Jan 11, 2011, but it is also said by Allthingsdigital , that Apple like to announce a launch date with 2 or 3 weeks of antcipation:
Quote:
"Apple has a track record of releasing phones between two and four weeks after it announces a new device. For example, the iPhone 4 was announced on June 7 this year and available in stores by June 24. The earlier versions of the phone, like the 3GS and the 3G, followed a similar pattern."The Verizon phone will be similar to the iPhone 4 but run on the carrier's CDMA technology, people familiar with the matter have said. Is not clear if the device will run just on the Verizon 3G CDMA network only or for now or if this iphone4 will have the option to run on the 4G Verizon networks some time or if it will come just ready to. We will know it this next Tuesday. (The image below is not an Apple´s official, is a mock up)
Also, analysts agree Apple will likely sell 9 million to 12 million iPhones on Verizon's network this year, a huge boost in the iconic phone's most important market.
To put that into perspective, AT&T Inc. sold 11.1 million iPhones in the first nine months of 2010. Piper Jaffray & Co. estimates a full-year total of 14.5 million iPhones for AT&T, accounting for 12% of Apple's overall revenue and 30% of its iPhone sales. In its fiscal year, ended September, Apple reported revenue of $20.34 billion.
