But nobody uses CDMA anymore except for some fringe, legacy operators. Everyone else is on the GSM, UMTS and LTE bandwagon.

  Verizon still operates a legacy CDMA network which iPhones are compatible with, no? Or are newer models now only compatible with their LTE network?

    not all iphones are compatible, tough. List is here: https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ i.e. for america there are special models that support cdma, but most countries do not need that.

  Every single VZW and Sprint phone sold in the US has a CDMA modem. They all support 1xRTT and EVDO.

  UMTS uses WCDMA. The old patents still apply as the base modulation technology even if the IS95 protocol is mostly gone.
