The US's biggest mobile network, Verizon, is expected to announce next week that it will begin selling Apple's iPhone.
The move, which requires different chips in the phone from those used in the version already sold through AT&T, America's second-biggest network, could potentially double iPhone sales in the US.
Leaked figures last month suggested that while Verizon grew its smartphone sales from 2.7m to 3.3m in the third quarter of 2010, AT&T's iPhone sales alone grew from 2.7m to 5.7m following the introduction of the iPhone 4 in the summer.
