The long wait could soon be over for Verizon customers who’d like to get their hands on Apple’s iPhone. Verizon will ramp up to begin selling the iPhone by early Jan., according to reports in Bloomberg and the WSJ, ending AT&T‘s 3-year exclusive lock on the device that has helped it earn record profits. (Apple confirmed its original deal with AT&T was for 5 years earlier this summer, but one can only assume a renegotiation has taken place.) Apple’s about face has no doubt much to do with the desire to get on Verizon’s officially announced 4G LTE network, which will launch in 38 major metro markets and to more than 110 Americans by the end of the year. The launch will include large section of the northeast corridor including New York, Washington D.C. and Boston, where iPhone users have complained the most about poor network coverage.
