Verizon CFO hints at global ‘iPhone 5,’ talks LTE

Verizon Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo revealed several interesting things at the Reuters Global Technology Summit. First, Verizon will continue to compete with AT&T on the iPhone–Big Red will sell the next-generation iPhone (referred to by some as the iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S) alongside AT&T.

Shammo also said that the next Verizon iPhone will operate in as many countries as AT&T’s global iPhone. Reading between the lines, we can guess that Verizon is preparing for a big announcement on this front when the next-generation iPhone hits global shelves.

Verizon’s CFO was less transparent about the next iPhone’s speeds, suggesting that Verizon’s portfolio of LTE Android phones would make up for a next-gen iPhone. “I think it’s a bigger issue for Apple than it is for us,” Reuters quotes. “Depending on where Apple plays, that’s where we’ll sell.”
