Apple picked AT&T network to run its iPhone in the US and many have been reckoning it a really fatal weakness of the iPhone. People still seem to ask about its availability on Verizon and there are rumors every now and then. However, concrete news has emerged that both the sides are in talks to run iPhone on Verizon.

Some reliable sources have told USA Today that Verizon and Apple are discussing to make iPhone available on Verizon version next year. But why not now? Well, there are two possible reasons: The exclusive contract with AT&T will run until next year and secondly the next version will be CDMA-ready which indicates some slight inner tweaks in the next version.

In the United States, Verzion is considered the main rival of AT&T and it makes sense that why AT&T is trying hard to extend its exclusive contract for iPhone into another year.  Verizon is quite larger than AT&T, but it lacks one device that making people switch to other network and this device is Apple’s iPhone, as nearly 40% AT&T new customers sign up contracts for this one device only.

But the thing one must consider is that the new model of the cell phone may see a launch as soon as this summer and this new device will also be for AT&T and you may have to sign up for a new contract.
