Next iPhone and iPad details revealed - Early 2011 release
The iPhone 4 has only been out a few months, but already there is speculation about the next incarnation which some believe will hit the shelves as soon as December. If that was not enough to get fanboys salivating all over their shiny touchscreens, some details about the next iPad have been revealed, set for release in the first quarter of 2011.
It has been reported by TechCrunch that Apple has ordered several million Qualcomm CDMA chipsets, giving rise to speculation that the next iPhone will be CDMA-based. In fact, the much rumoured Apple partnership with Verizon after AT&T lost its exclusivity on the iPhone may mean a Verizon CDMA-based model some time in December or January, making it unique from the GSM-based AT&T handset.
It is not clear if this version of the iPhone will contain a fix for the antenna problems that have plagued the iPhone 4 and marred the brand's image, but if Apple has time to change the chipset then perhaps it might consider the ability to actually make and receive calls a worthy investment.
