iOS 4.2.10 has just been released by Apple for CDMA based iPhone 4 running on the Verizon network. According to the official change log, this minor update fixes a security vulnerability with certificate validation in iOS.

Earlier rumors suggested that iPhone 5 will actually come with a global support which means it will have both GSM and CDMA radios. The rumor had its basis in the Qualcomm Gobi cellular/data chipset which was found included in the Verizon iPhone 4 when it was taken to pieces.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, a Chinese carrier named China Telecom has managed to unlock the CDMA based Verizon iPhone to run on their CDMA network.

In case you are still skeptic about it, the Verizon iPhone is very real, and it is coming on 10th February 2011. Video after the break.

The Wall Street Journal has just weighed in to confirm that the Verizon event, which is happening on 11th January is indeed going to be for the long-awaited Verizon iPhone 4.

Yes, dear readers. The Verizon Wireless iPhone has been confirmed yet again. This time from the folks at Fortune. And it’s coming, once again, in “early 2011”.

RichyRich has got hold of what they are claiming to be exclusive leaked photos of the upcoming iPhone from Verizon. The shape of this leaked prototype model looks almost exactly like the current iPhone 4.

Rumors for a CDMA-based Verizon iPhone for 2011 are getting stronger and stronger by the day. We’ve previously seen claims from Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch and today, Wall Street Journal has gone ahead and called it a settled deal.

Boy Genius Report is reporting about a block of low level operating system code found in iOS 4 which reveals codenames for CDMA iPhone 4 and the next-gen iPad. Their sources at Apple has confirmed that the queries you see in the screenshot below refers to CDMA iPhone (on Verizon) and iPad 2 and that they are about to hit the field testing stage. Also these new devices are said to auto-activate, bypassing iTunes for activation. Apple probably has done it so that carriers may not be able to find anything in the activation logs.

This year is getting fired up with a lot of rumors and people are expecting a bunch of new gadgets from Apple. Digitimes is now reporting that Apple is going to launch new Apple TV with iOS, iPads and a CDMA iPhone on Verizon early next year.

CDMA version of iPhone on Verizon has been rumored for years, so much that probably now no one believes it anymore, unless of course Steve announces it in one of those events. Now if the latest round of rumors from TechCrunch are to be believed, we could very well see the CDMA version of iPhone on Verizon as early as January 2011.

The iPhone 4 is probably one of the most beautiful and powerful smartphone out there! but too bad, it is limited to GSM and 3G (did I mention crappy AT&T ?) networks only. Unlike some of the Android phones like EVO 4G which are taking advantage of high 4G speeds on the likes of Sprint (4G capable CDMA network) and Verizon Wireless.
