- No one is saying it could be, or is going to be, anything other than that. Verizon will announce that they will also be selling the iPhone 4.
- The Wall Street Journal is reporting that unlike AT&T, Verizon will be offering unlimited data plans for iPhone.
- The iPhone will be LTE ready from day one, as it’s the fast, new network and it lets you use the apps while in a call. Barring that, a free upgrade once it becomes available, similar to the announcement of the Motorola Xoom at CES.
- We won’t see the iPad 2 tomorrow. Apple will save that for their own press event, probably in February, or if they’re feeling exceptionally bitchy, right before the Motorola Xoom tablet (running Android 3) is supposed to come out.
- Steve won’t appear on stage, though he might make an appearance through a Facetime call. This is not Apple’s show, and you know how you can tell? Look at the press invitation. It’s a horribly compressed JPG that came from an outside PR firm. It’s hideously amateurish, and if anyone at Apple released an image like this, heads would roll.
- Apple will maintain control of the OS. The phone won’t be Verizon branded, and you’ll be able to update it.
- There won’t be an uninstallable NASCAR app.
- The device will have parity with the AT&T phone, same internal specs. The price point on the phone itself will be the same. Apple is ending its exclusive contract with AT&T, but AT&T is still carrying their phone.
- When Apple announces the next iPhone this summer, Verizon will get it at the same time.
- When this happens, hordes of Verizon iPhone users will complain that they just bought the iPhone 4 six months ago, and expect a free upgrade.
