Rumors: Apple iPhone OS 4.0 out in June, and the iPhone 4G goes to Verizon

1 Comment / Phones / By Khalid Hosein / January 21, 2010

One analyst (Peter Misek) has some bold predictions on what Steve Jobs will announce next week (in addition to the much anticipated Apple Tablet, supposedly called the iTablet – no surprise there).

Rumor #1: he’ll announce and show off the latest version of the iPhone OS: v4.0.

Rumor #2: he’ll announce that Verizon will start selling the iPhone 4G in summer. This will be big news as it will suddenly expose the iPhone to the largest single carrier market, and it may also impact Palm’s latest decision to launch their Pre and Pixi on Verizon.

What’s the bottom line? Mostly unknown. However, if I were a student right now, it should give me pause as I’m trying to decide what direction to point my career in.
