Verizon iPhone 4: Release Date Update – WSJ Confirms

After first breaking the silence over a Verizon compatible iPhone 4 at the start of the year, the Wall Street Journal has just published another article, confirming the release of the CDMA version of the iPhone.

According to their new report, WSJ has once again confirmed that Apple’s version of the iPhone for Verizon Wireless will be available to buy during the first quarter of 2011.

They add that Apple will start building the devices before the end of this year, and that AT&T are about to ‘lose it’s lock’ on the iPhone 4. Furthermore, the WSJ is claiming that the Verizon iPhone will ‘resemble’ the current iPhone 4 model, but it will be altered for use on Verizon’s network – i.e CDMA support.

The report didn’t confirm whether or not the CDMA iPhone would also be coming to Sprint or not, or if the handset will be available just on Verizon.
