I'm a little confused by this statement. Are you thinking of WiMax? It's not like all those phones are going to suddenly stop getting 4G data one day. They use LTE, which is going to be the standard going forward.

I doubt it, unless Apple really had this Verizon deal in mind a long time ago. I'm guessing development on this year's iPhone started too long ago for that. And as we seem to agree, it's more likely that they'll just make a 4G phone in 2012.
