Apple field testing Verizon iPhone and iPad 2
Quick Share:
BGR just keeps coming up with the goods at quite an impressive rate. This time the highly visited tech blog has been blessed with a screenshot from an Apple insider which hints at the possibility of the Cupertinos field testing the CDMA version of iPhone which many of you refer to as Verizon iPhone. Based on the lines of code leaked out, it seems that the iPad 2 is being field tested as well.
The lines of codes (shown in the above screenshot) were found deep rooted inside the iOS 4 code. The code is believed to auto-activate the CDMA iPhone and iPad 2. This activity is performed by Apple to ensure that the carriers get to do the field testing of the iDevice without going through the long process of iTunes based activation.
This is not the first time that this sort of code has been inserted into iOS as the Cupertinos have performed this practice whenever they are on the verge of rolling out a new gadget which is the Verizon iPhone and iPad 2/Mini iPad in our case.

Verizon getting an Iphone would be great for all the users who are looking forward to it.
You know iPhone sells so better because it’s the only smartphone that is as powerful as a Mac and as easy to use as an iPod. Period. I like iPhone 4, it’s so fatastic and got top 4 tempting features, HD Video Recording and lovely pictures, what’s more, the Retina display, and the remarkable 960×640 resolution screen make my movie watching experience unbelievably sharp and crisp in the help of iFunia iPhone video converter.
aha, I love Verizon and I love iPhone 4’s = One Big Love for this marriage to happy. Love, love, love, love.
