We’ve received a tip from an industry source claiming that, alongside the Apple Tablet announcement rumored to take place at Apple’s January 27th press event, we can also expect the official unveiling of the iPhone 4G. According to the tipster, the iPhone 4G will not go out on sale immediately; as with the Apple Tablet, this is merely an announcement in a event that appears to be focused on mobile devices. The source didn’t provide us with any additional information regarding the device itself.
However, the source did have a rather interesting bit of information: Apple has supposedly killed the Verizon deal. Permanently. Why? All that was said is that Apple wishes to focus on and remain with ATT. The source added that Verizon’s recent ads (most notably the Droid campaign, which directly attacked the iPhone) were a contributing factor in the decision. The iPhone 4G will still retain its 4G functionality, though.
As this information isn’t official and set in stone yet, it should all be taken with a grain of salt. We’ll find out what the case is on the 27th though, and GeekSmack will try to find out more on this.
