Everything you need to know about iPhone 4: Specs, Reviews, Apps, How-Tos, and more

Verizon iPhone

  • Yes, it finally happened! Verizon customer rejoice! After “short” thee and half years of wait largest United States wireless carrier (based on number of subscribers) will start selling Apple’s revolutionary product on 02.10.11 (Feb, 10th 2011). 16GB device will start at $199.00 with new 2 year activation and data plan. 32GB devices will be available as well and expected to be priced accordingly.At a first glance Verizon’s iPhone looks like any other iPhone, but there are obviously some changes.

    If you look close the only difference you can find are tweaked CDMA-compatible antennas running around the edge. Antennas are placed symmetrically, so volume and mute buttons were moved a bit lower (old cases probably will not fit this phone anymore).

    Obviously there is no Verizon branding on the phone. Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA) will be called model A1349 (GSM version’s A1332) and will work on CDMA / EV-DO Rev networks on 850 and 1900MHz bands along with Bluetooth and WiFi. GSM support for global roaming is no where to be found, so you’ll have to limit you vacation/business trips to CDMA enabled countries. As many expected new Verizon iPhone 4 does not come with LTE support. Apple says they did not implement LTE because first generation chipsets would force unwanted design decisions that will delay release of the phone, and customers want a Verizon device now.

    On the software side things look pretty good, there is no pre-loaded Verizon software (like VCAST). The only obviose difference is personal hotspot tweak in the settings menu (personal hot spot will work in 2412-2462Mhz range). Verizon iPhone 4 is running iOS version 4.2.5.
