There will be quite a bit of work for Apple to do, though, as a CDMA version of the iPhone would require a whole new baseband that is compatible with Verizon’s CDMA network, but the returns will probably be worth it. If the rumor holds true, then we’ll be seeing Verizon offering Apple’s iPhone in January 2011.
