Apple Increases 1st Quarter iPhone Shipments to 21 Million, Including the Verizon iPhone?
DigiTimes reports that Apple has raised their 1st Quarter 2011 iPhone shipment goals from 19 million units to 20-21 million units. This number reportedly includes 5-6 million CDMA iPhones:
The first-quarter shipment goal for WCDMA iPhones has been adjusted from 13 million units to 14-15 million units, the sources said. The shipment goal for CDMA iPhones, which will be launched in North America and Asia Pacific in the first quarter, is set at 5-6 million units, the sources added.
WCDMA refers to the UMTS standard that the current iPhone 4 uses, but the CDMA iPhones will be a separate model that will bring compatibility to Verzion in the U.S. and apparently to other carriers in Asia Pacific.Verizon has long been rumored to be the next major U.S. carrier to see iPhone compatibility. The Verizon iPhone is believed to be coming to Verizon in the first quarter of 2011. Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg will be giving a keynote address at this year's Consumer Electronics Show on January 6th, 2011 at 8:30am.

IMO: Verizon is on Android's bandwagon and have been making ads targeting the iPhone
But who knows. Business is Business
I just want these stupid YEARLY rumors to stop
Please dear god let this crap end. I hope Steve Jobs comes on stage at CES and says he'd rather take a rusty screw driver anally rather than make a CDMA iPhone.
What if it doesn't happen, do we really need to keep the Verizon Rumor alive....

Yes we do need to keep the rumor alive. Continuous rumors means that there is an extremely large public consumer interest in the Verizon Iphone. Apple will notice things like this. It will continue to motivate them to make the rumor become a reality.
And as far as I know, At&t has been pushing other phones besides the Iphone more recently. A sign of losing exclusivity I think. And Verizon has stopped all the "there's a map for that" adds haven't they?

Imagine the uproar if Apple announces CDMA iPhones for Asia Pacific but not Verizon in the U.S.!
