Does any one know so far whther the new iPhone 5 will be able to multitask (i.e. swithcing between phone calls & other tasks such as internet) with the Verizon carrier? Previously that was not possible.
Thankyou.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
No it won't be able to switch between calls and data. It can multitask - same as any other iPhone, but not access internet (unless on WiFi) and be on a phone call.

Please remember that this is not the case for ALL carriers. I believe only Verizon has this limitation.
All other carriers have the ability to use the internet AND talk on the phone at the same time.
For example, I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Moments ago I was surfing the internet at the same time I was on a phone call.
I have this same question for iPhone 6. Does anyone have that information yet??
Ask your carrier.

If you have the VoLTE feature enabled on your Verizon account, and are on the 4G LTE network and are calling someone else with VoLTE enabled, yes, you will be able to do simultaneous voice and data with the iPhone 6 and 6+. Otherwise, no.
VoLTE is required at both ends for HD voice, but shouldn't be needed at the other end for multitasking. It's up to Verizon, though.

Hmmm. I'll have to double check on that.
