OTR Global recently sent a report to AppleInsider claiming that Apple plans to release a new iPhone late next year which will support Verizon Wireless and many other major mobile networks which it doesn’t currently support. The new iPhone is reported to have a  new chip produced by Qualcomm and is compatible with the UMTS/CMDA network.

According to OTR’s sources, the new iPhone will also have a smaller screen size than the current iPhone. The current iPhone is 3.5″ and the newer one is reported to have a smaller 2.8″ screen. With a screen this small, it seems appropriate for Apple to name this iPhone the iPhone nano. I wouldn’t switch to Verizon if the new iPhone’s screen is smaller as OTR Global said it is, would you?

If the iPhone ever does come on Verizon it will definitely be an even bigger success. Verizon is one of the most popular carriers in the US, and they are also the most reliable. Verizon has a lot of faith in their recently released “iPhone killer”, the Droid. After seeing Verizon’s Droid Does commercial, I can’t help but feel skeptical of the iPhone ever being supported on Verizon. Do you think that this will ever become a reality? If it does, and the screen size of the Verizon iPhone is still the same I would definitely cancel my contract with AT&T and switch to Verizon, regardless of the cost. AT&T is not really reliable in my area.
