what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here I want to talk about the tech equivalent of the Yeti the Loch Ness monster the magician whatever it is you want to call it let's talk about the verizon iphone this thing has been as ruined as long as the iphone itself has been in existence we've got a fresh batch of juicy rumors which sounds kind of disgusting but these rumors may actually have some Lex Twitter backed up by what's supposedly a bit of fat so let's go ahead and run through the mall I've got my glasses on so you know this is a serious video let's get started so if you see me look down I've got some notes in front of me there's a lot to cover Mack daily news today sort of put out the first rumors of an LTE based verizon iphone LTE is verizon's new 4G technology that just launched actually last week in select markets and a sort of plant for a full rollout I initially observed most technology pundants and geeks and whatever speculated that when Verizon did get an iphone which now seems inevitable would not be launching with LTE onboard very similar to what we saw in the first iphone launch without 3g the network isn't widespread and it's a tremendous suck on battery however Mac Daily News which has a decent record of prediction is saying otherwise and quieting quoting quite credible sources which is a hard thing to say so let me go ahead and run through the full list of rumors with you so supposedly verizon management had training on the iPhone last week and this has been substantiated by their sources you would have thought would have heard a bit more leaks coming out of this this is one of the first I guess poke in the dam and the water is starting to spread out so verizon also supposedly had functioning lte-capable devices at this management training session that they were showing off to employees so this iphone that's got 4g does in fact exist a formal announcement is supposedly coming right after Christmas the formal announcement right after Christmas was supposedly one of the last terms that AT&T may to negotiate with apple so post-holiday fig everybody wants to get an iphone before the holiday run out to 18 t will see announcement possibly all right after Christmas for the first of the year which also coincides with CES so that may be the ideal platform for the big red to actually launch their 4g capable device the verizon iphone supposedly will be available immediately upon announcement so we're already at the middle of december so a month from now we can actually have a verizon iphone in your hands a 4G verizon iphone in your hands to say the least devices are supposedly 100% cooked and I've already been shipping actually for quite some time to sort of build up on inventory kind of interesting the verizon iphone is not big shift to any of third-party retailers to try and keep the rumors and the leaks to a minimum Verizon agreed to take one hundred percent responsibility for security of these devices all devices will be in their hands until the official announcement takes place but probably stored in some serious raiders of the lost ark type warehouse piling up but supposedly will be saying these and these are not necessarily an iphone 5 it's an iphone 4 that is going to be lte-capable kind of interesting so the new phone is LTE device and it's actually going to be called the LTE iphone supposedly and is going to be exclusive to verizon is going to be spec for spec an iphone 4 with the benefit of LTE now since LTE is not sort of everywhere in the country yet it will be able to fall back to verizon's 3g service which is evdo so it's also be really the first LTE phone that we've seen on the market i suppose it makes sense that a phone of this magnitude that sort of able to take advantage of this new data network would be the ipod touch sort of a flagship phone so next the iphone 5 was planned to debut in the summer as an LTE capable phone on a variety of carriers he is also committed to an AT&T network to an LTE network but their LTE networks and sort of saying that quite a bit I was not ready too closely that angered Apple you don't want to anger the Giant so we'll see it announced on verizon first and again it's not an iphone 5 it's supposedly as an iphone 4 that's lte-capable Steve Jobs himself is supposed to be very upset the carriers aren't getting their LTE act in order which whatever II can be upset all I wants an apple is supposedly funding some of the infrastructure for the carrier's to launch their LTE capable devices so this sort of goes against what's been said in the past again people have been speculating that an LTE iphone would not launch until the network was more widespread and the battery technology had improved that was for the same model that was all at the initial of 3g iphone this does seem to have a bit of likes to it it would make sense that we will actually see a full lte-capable advice on the press call that was announcing their 4g network a verizon was very adamant about saying that they're going to hold off on announcements on devices until a consumer-oriented event which certainly would be the consumer electronics show in january so are you waiting for a LTE iphone i can tell you I've use LTE the speeds are unbelievable but oftentimes these speeds on your phone isn't determined by the network speed the bottleneck is actually going to be the processor so while your phone might be capable of pulling down 16 megabits per second the process is not necessarily going to handle it so you'll probably see speeds that would be akin to using Wi-Fi at home with a puppy that fast but don't expect lightning blazing fast speeds unless unless attr started verizon rather and Apple are going to let the iphone service some sort of mobile hotspot or enable tethering at which case if used as a 4g modem much like this guy here you can take advantage of those 4G speeds on your desktop could be interesting so what do you guys think about all these new rumors are you excited not excited I think a lot of people have been waiting for a verizon iphone a 4g far as an iphone really truly capable of running on a 4G network I would probably be worth the wait it would be icing on the cake for these folks that have been patiently biding the time for years personally I'm really excited about the potential and especially if we can see it in just a few weeks could make a consumer electronic show a very very interesting venue i'm jon rettinger technobuffalo see you next video bye bye
