Hardly a week goes by without an iPhone 5 or 4S rumor hitting the news. Verizon CFO Fran Shammo claimed last month that the iPhone 5 will have global roaming, today in a fresh interview with Reuters is back again strengthening him claim regarding the existence of an universal radio for the next iPhone. He even went as far as to claim possible LTE support but we think that Apple might hold it off for the iPhone 6.
Shammo claims that the lackluster sales of the Verizon iPhone 4 were because the phone was almost the same as the AT&T iPhone 4 and didn’t offer the customers enough of a reason to warrant the purchase, offering LTE in the next iPhone could change that. He also claims since the iPhone 5 will be coming to both AT&T and Verizon at the same time they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage since their device would support global roaming.
