Is Apple planning an LTE iPhone?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
While we might see an Apple iPhone 4G this year, the "4G" will be referring to what generation iPhone is in your hand. An iPhone LTE would probably not see the light of day until mid-2011 at the earliest. By then, carriers like Verizon and AT&T should have a sufficient amount of the country covered in LTE not to mention the overseas carriers who will be getting ready for 4G service. This really should not be shocking news because after all, there was never a doubt that Apple would be bringing the iPhone up-to-date to work on the speedy 4G networks. and AT&T will be using LTE technology for its 4G service Yes, Apple was late to the 3G party, but that is a mistake that probably will not happen again.

Listen, if you want a site that posts only the official word on companies, go to Phone Scope. One of the coolest things about Phone Arena is that they post on speculation and rumor. Some are true, some are not. PA never posts on unsubstantiated claims and usually have some kind of source. I come here for rumors and official word. Thing is, I know folks are tired of the iPhone and I am too. Everyone was convinced the iPhone was going to Verizon this year and it didn't. So I've blocked out Apple rumors until Steve Jobs says something. But other than that, I like rumor and speculation on other subjects.

Exactly JeffdaBeat, these other idiots don't seem to be taking it that way.

Some people just get tired of hearing about the iPhone all the time. Personally, I don't mind with news like this, but the weeks leading up to the iPad announcement were littered with BS articles every few hours, so I can understand how some people would be tired of hearing all Apple news. It sometimes seems like these sites promote apple with all their constant articles.

You obviously are on the wrong site. I personally come to Phone Arena for all phone advice and spec reviews. Especially the iPhone as a personally favorite. Instead of complaining and crying, why don't you shove it and go somewhere else? Nobody really cares on your negative opinion on the site.

They probably will at some point but look at their track record. 3 generations of phones and they fail to include basic features:background pictures,using songs for ringtones that you already bought from iTunes that you have to buy again to use as a ringtone?? Nowadays the iPhone is at the bottom of the competition if you ask me. Waiting for my HD2 to get here!

As a mattre of fact right now. there is no 4G iPhone to speak of. Will it multi task? I hope so they'll have at least 2 years to work on that. In the meantime I have personally seen the EVO in action and it is without a doubt the new standard of smart phones in this country.

I'm glad to see that the iPhone is advancing their technology, because this will raise the bar for all other manufacturers.

how will it raise the bar for other manufacturers? apple is far from the first company to be working on a 4g device at the moment.
32. VZWtrainer posted on 26 Mar 2010, 20:43 0 0
Yes zr1vette. The first generation iPhone did reaise the bar for multimedia-type smartphones. The two generations after that, not so much. In fact, the only groundbreaking feature after the first generation iPhone was the video-editing that is now available. Nothing else about the iPhone 3Gs is revolutionary at all. Take last years model, add 1 or two things that should have already been in last years model, and you have this years model.
