Apple CEO Steve Jobs has revived rumors about Verizon iPhone 4 release once again. Jobs at a Q&A session on the much-discussed iPhone 4 antenna issue briefly mentioned Verizon hence leading to speculations that iPhone is coming to Verizon in near future. A reporter during the session said that he was unable to repeat the so called “death grip” and a signal loss phenomenon at the venue. Jobs responded saying that Apple has towers for both AT&T and Verizon in its premises. “We’ve got strong signal here,” he said. “We have AT&T and Verizon cell sites on campus.”

Speculations are rife that Verizon does not need the iPhone on Verizon network presently with the successful release of Droid X and an overall successful partnership with Android, Google’s mobile operating system. “Verizon could decide that it does not actually need the iPhone, thanks to its deepening ties with Google ,” wrote analysts Brad Stone and Jenna Wortham. But there are many (among them some reputed analysts) who think that Verizon will benefit from the iPhone. Even though a Verizon iPhone rumor has been doing rounds for a long time, the recent Motorola Driod X ad in New York Times where Verizon mocks iPhone 4 antenna issue, made most believe that Verizon is not likely to host iPhone. But, there are some analysts who say that in spite of these events, Verizon does need the iPhone. A recent Bloomberg report gives a Jan 2011 release date for Verizon iPhone 4.
