According to the Taiwanese website, DigiTimes, Apple is planning to bring the CDMA iPhone 4 that was unveiled at the Verizon media event just last week to a host of  new markets. The countries that are set to get the CDMA iPhone include China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The publication also reported that that aside from Foxconn, which has been manfacturing the iPhone 4 for Apple since last year, Pegatron has also been added to the list of iPhone makers.

While GSM is still dominant in almost all area over the world, there are still some important markets where there is a considerable patronage for CDMA networks. Apple probably had these markets in mind when they developed the CDMA iPhone and recent reports are indeed pointing towards this possibility. According to Digitimes, Pegatron would be used to produce CDMA iPhones for the rest of the world while Foxconn will handle the requirements for Verizon. The report indicates that Pegatron’s shipments for the rest of the world would begin in January while Foxconn started shipping CDMA iPhones in December.

Previously, large mobile operators like China’s China Telecom and India’s Reliance and Tata Indicom have been rumored to be in talks with Apple to launch the CDMA iPhone. While it surely looks plausible in China where the GSM iPhoen 4 is already available, we have yet to hear anything about India, where even the GSM iPhoen 4 is strangely yet to arrive. There is a chance that Apple could launch the GSM and CDMA iPhoen 4 in India at the same time though.

If you are from China, India, Japan, or South Korea, we would love to find out if you are interested in buying a CDMA iPhone, so let us know in the comments below!
