Apple might be planning to launch a CDMA version of the popular iPhone in India.
The handset giant is holding discussions with Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices for bringing an iPhone using CDMA or code division multiple access technology to India, the Wall Street Journal reported.
There are currently three operators in India whose networks run on CDMA technology – Reliance Communications, Tata Teleservices and MTS.
The news of Apple making a CDMA version of its iPhone that will be available with Verizon Wireless early next year in the USA is already ripe. It is also rumored that China Telecom is currently in talks with Apple regarding the CDMA iPhone 4 for the Chinese market.
In India, Apple’s iPhone is currently available through GSM operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.
CDMA iPhone likely to come to India
Apple is reportedly in talks with two Indian operators Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices for selling its iPhone running on CDMA technology here.
