go to the apple store and ask for a "cdma-less" iphone

got this trick from a verizon engineer after complaining about such risks. carriers dont carry them but apple should be able to sell you one

>and ask for a "cdma-less" iphone

isn't that just a regular GSM phone? According to https://www.techwalls.com/iphone-11-a2111-a2221-a2223-model-... there's only 3 variants of the iphone 11: the north american variant (with CDMA support), rest of the world variant, and a chinese variant.

Isn't LTE different than CDMA and GSM? A CDMA-less Verizon iPhone would support LTE (4g) only.

Good find, but worth checking if Apple can fulfill this request for Americans.

The T-Mobile and AT&T carrier sold iPhones did not come with CDMA support, not sure about current models.

A CDMA less phone would not be eligible for Verizon.
