Although the rumors around a possible Apple wireless handset have been in the mill for years now, the fervor has taken on a new fever pitch with so many "confirmed" rumors swirling about on what Apple CEO Steve Jobs may unveil at a January event for the Apple community.
Would an iPhone change the wireless industry? Well, it depends on how Apple will work with carriers -- or if it would sell handsets direct (SIM-based, I guess) and
bypass the carriers althogether. I doubt Apple would alienate the network carriers like this, but "selling an iPhone" is not just a slam dunk.
