MacDailyNews has reported today that the upcoming Verizon-bound iPhone 4 will have LTE 4G support, a feature not seen on any other current model.
Additionally the site says the phone will hit the Verizon network before the New Year, right after Christmas.
Citing reliable sources, MDN says AT&T requested Apple hold off on breaking the American exclusivity pact until after Christmas so the carrier could make as many iPhone 4 and 3GS sales as possible.
Furthermore, the site says the LTE iPhone has already shipped to Verizon warehouses and has been in the hands of training managers since last week.
As a special marketing campaign, Verizon will market the device as "the only LTE iPhone."
Because Verizon has just begun their LTE rollout, the iPhone will backwards compatibility with 3G CDMA.
For now, take this as rumor, but we will keep you updated.
