Rumours that Apple is planning a new version of its iPhone before the 'normal' upgrade cycle appear to be true - although it will only signify the end of the exclusivity deal in the US.
Like in the UK when O2 lost its exclusivity deal for the iPhone when Vodafone and Orange came on board, Verizon looks likely to be joining AT&T in offering the iPhone for sale in the US, according to the WSJ.
However, Apple will need to modify the wireless tech used inside the phone, as Verizon uses different network technology to its rivals AT&T.
Like the UK, AT&T runs the iPhone on GSM networks, whereas Verizon uses CDMA technology instead.
