How Will We Know We're on 4G...?

[Stangs55]

So I'm confused...if we get a 4G signal when we're on 3G+ now...how will I know when I'm on 4G with the new iPad?

You won't. It'll be "magic".

I hear there will be confetti shooting from the iPad.

It'll say "LTE" in the top left corner. Scroll down here: http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/

I've seen devices where "4G" shows when on 3G+ and "LTE" appears for 4G.

Non-wifi versions

I have not played with a non-wifi model of the ipad, so I'm sorry if this the answer to my question is common-knowledge:

Do we have the option to turn off the 3G/4G radios when not in use? I'd assume so since there was a mention about being able to track data usage.

I'd like to have it off and not running down battery when I'm connected over wifi.

Thanks in advance.

Yup. You can turn the cellular radio off.

Well what did you expect? Could you seriously not find that yourself?

If you are at Broadway and 57th, you have 4G.


Seriously though:

ATT 4G Map (4G=orange dots)

VZW 4G Map (4G=dark red dots)

iPad will have "4G" indicator if you are on the 4G network.

Thanks,

How come Puerto Rico has 4G and Jacksonville, does not?

My 4S says I'm on 4G now...but I'm not. So it's really not a dumb question...in fact, your answer is wrong as indicated above.

So going forward on the new iPad, the cellular indicators will be:
4G = HSPDA+
LTE = 4G

Makes sense... o.0
