DigiTimes is reporting that Apple has raised the iPhone shipment for first quarter of 2011 from 19 million units to 20-21 million units.
According to DigiTimes, the number also includes 5-6 million CDMA iPhones, which it claims will be launched in North America and Asia Pacific in the first quarter of 2011.
DigiTimes reports:
The first-quarter shipment goal for WCDMA iPhones has been adjusted from 13 million units to 14-15 million units, the sources said. The shipment goal for CDMA iPhones, which will be launched in North America and Asia Pacific in the first quarter, is set at 5-6 million units, the sources added.
MacRumors explains:
WCDMA refers to the UMTS standard that the current iPhone 4 uses, but the CDMA iPhones will be a separate model that will bring compatibility to Verzion in the U.S. and apparently to other carriers in Asia Pacific.
There has been a deluge of rumors and speculations surrounding the Verizon iPhone ever since iPhone was launched on AT&T’s network. We have also heard rumors that the Verizon iPhone is "100% cooked for quite a while" and the device is expected to launch "right after Christmas".
It will be interesting to see if the Verizon iPhone will be announced at Consumer Electronics Show on January 6th, 2011 where Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg will be giving a keynote address.

I think Apple should increase it to 26 million
U stupid if you think verizon gettin the iPhone anytime soon and b4 anyone starts it’s so damn simple if u don’t like att then get the hell out go somewhere else stop complaining about service or whatever and just lEAVE!!!
I already did. I had no service at my house with AT&T, so i was able to get out of my contract. I immediately jb’d and unlocked so I could be on T-Mobile. Unlocking wouldn’t be so popular if AT7T didn’t suck so much. And I for one, can’t wait for the iPhone on Verizon. They were my carrier before the iPhone came out and I will go back ASAP when they get the iPhone.
You should pass your common sense to all dis dumb ass people who come in here and complain about att or iPhone dis and that it’s simple you don’t like it then leave just like you did.
You’re a moron. No need to argue with a fool, or else no one will be able to tell who’s who.
I think Apple should increase it to 28 million.
I personally can’t wait to see what happens with Verizon has 10mil+ iphone users streaming 10gb+ every month. Then we will truly see what “the best network ever” is capable of.
Agreed! I downloaded the app “Coverage?”, and it’s amazing to really see the difference in the coverage maps!
