Apple CEO Likely to Appear at Verizon iPhone Event

January 7, 2011 at 3:01 pm PT

[Did I say Steve Jobs? I meant Tim Cook. He's almost like Steve Jobs, right?]

Verizon Wireless’s Tuesday iPhone announcement will be headlined by President and COO Lowell McAdam, but there will likely be a special guest as well.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

While the appearance isn’t 100 percent assured, sources in a position to know tell me that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jobs will likely join McAdam onstage in New York when he announces the addition of the iPhone to its handset lineup.

All Things Digital reported earlier today that the special event Verizon is holding in New York Tuesday will be the carrier’s long-rumored iPhone announcement.

Sources that are completely guessing, but have an excellent track record, tell me that Jobs will be there, but not in person. He will appear via Facetime.

John: Are you hearing whether it will be on the LTE network? Sure hope so!

IF there is LTE enabled, it will have to debut with fallback to 3G speeds.

No way, Apple would never put the slow, buggy and power hungry LTE chips in the iPhone yet. Those needs a few years to mature properly.

Steve wouldn’t appear in person without bringing a portable version of the Reality Distortion Field.

So having both 3G CDMA and 4G LTE chip hybrid iPhone?
