After remaining comparatively calm for several months, rumors of the CDMA-supported iPhone for Verizon Wireless have heated back upwards with the launch of the carrier's 4G LTE network and the future Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Neither Verizon neither Apple have confirmed any rumors, that absolutely accelerated this fall at the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association in San Francisco, however, which hasn't halted speculation. Bloomberg Businessweek is at fault behind the most recent stoking of the rumor mill. In a recent report citing an unknown source, the news provider predicted a Verizon iPhone announcement might come time in the the following month. The device may play between CES and Valentine's Day, according to Businessweek. "Very soon, maybe by Valentine's Day, Apple is likely to host one of its splashy product introductions to mention a hot version of the iPhone operates on Verizon's network," creator Peter Burrows opens the report. Many agree a Verizon iPhone might use AT&T subscriptions, however, even which is speculation now as Apple is again not attending the consumer trade show. Still, industry experts call around between 1 thousand and 6 thousand consumers may leave AT&T for Verizon, could the rumors finally come real. However, experts think an announcement between CES and Valentine's Day makes sense judging by past Apple launches. The company typically holds its very own occasions to launch treatments, creating an announcement during the trade show unlikely. Also, an ITworld report mentioned the timeframe makes sense considering the Mobile World Congress may meet in Barcelona on Valentine's Day. That might provide Apple many time to create hype and earn the spotlight amongst the two occasions. "For now, we'll need to wait for Apple to submit out its tantalizing media event invites before we know precisely when the event is," Ryan Faas published for ITworld. Further tempering expectations of an announcement during CES, Verizon recently announced its lineup of speakers and product previews for the trade show, and the iPhone wasn't included. Instead, the fluid carrier mentioned it provides "a sneak peek of Android-based 4G LTE consumer devices" during a news conference. That too is big news, as the company has yet to offer any smartphones which help its recently announced 4G LTE network. Currently, merely fluid modems for notebooks and netbooks speak the network.
