As many would expect, Apple is developing an iPhone upgrade to debut this summer, according to The Wall Street Journal, but more surprising is the rumor that a Verizon iPhone is in the works as well.
WSJ cites sources who were briefed on a CDMA-compatible iPhone being manufactured by Pegatron, a Taiwanese manufacturing subsidiary of Asus. CDMA is the standard used on Verizon phones.
The sources said Pegatron was scheduled to mass produce CDMA iPhones in September, but a release date was not made clear.
Whispers of a Verizon-compatible iPhone have made the rounds since last year. However, this report lends the rumor more credence, as it was co- written by WSJ's Yukari Kane, who accurately broke the news on Steve Jobs' liver transplant and was also correct about some key facts regarding the iPad prior to its official unveiling. Some have speculated that Apple has performed controlled leaks through WSJ reporters, including Kane.
