iPhone HD: The new Apple iPhone? Also, WSJ reports Verizon iPhone in the works

iPhone 3G -- What will the iPhone HD look like?

Saw a few articles with “information” on the iPhone HD, and news on a Verizon iPhone.  The source of most of the information coming from Wall Street Journal (of all places!) … New iPhone Could End AT&T’s U.S. Monopoly.

Apple Inc. plans to begin producing this year a new iPhone that could allow U.S. phone carriers other than AT&T Inc. to sell the iconic gadget, said people briefed by the company.

The new iPhone would work on a type of wireless network called CDMA, these people said. CDMA is used by Verizon Wireless, AT&T’s main competitor, as well as Sprint Nextel Corp. and a handful of cellular operators in countries including South Korea and Japan. The vast majority of carriers world-wide, including AT&T, use another technology called GSM.

Of course this seems more believable based on many other rumors of Verizon iPhone’s in the past.

Other important info from the article:

• A new iPhone (not THE new iPhone) would be CDMA compatible
• Apple will release an update to the iPhone line, the “iPhone HD” is the likely name
• New iPhone will likely have increased resolution, maybe internal facing camera (this means Video chat)

You can also grab some more details at Engadget, WSJ: Apple ‘developing new iPhone,’ plus another for Verizon (update: iPhone HD, front-facing camera)
