New York - Apple (NASD: AAPL) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) have been in "high-level" talks for several months on developing an iPhone compatible with the carrier's CDMA wireless network, USA Today reported, citing "people familiar with the situation." To date, Apple has only made deals with AT&T and other carriers who operate on GSM, a different network standard, to carry the iPhone.AT&T has the exclusive carrier rights for the iPhone in the U.S. until 2010.
Verizon counts some 80 million customers in the U.S., and is co-owned by Vodafone (NYSE: VOD), which sells the iPhone in Europe.
