Mentioning the CDMA enabled iPhone, DigiTimes reported that Pegatron Technology will start mass production of  CDMA iPhones from December and they would be supplied to US-based Verizon Wireless Companies and China-based China Telecom. Another thing about this iPhone would be that it would not have black glass back but instead it will have a metal back. It will also have an integrated antenna to solve the current antenna problem in iPhone 4. Could this CDMA iPhone be iPhone 5 or is it too early to start calling it that?

Just like the previous rumors, this report also mentions that Verizon is expected to announce their iPhone in CES 2011 and will start shipping it in January 2011.
