iPhone 5: Simultaneous Voice+Data on Verizon

[Paden]

The Verizon iPhone 5, per Apple, states that it will NOT be able to do voice and data, due to the single LTE radio. Believe I read this on Engadget.

Anandtech has a detailed article on the subject:

Blown away. I can't believe I'll miss my urgent emails while on business calls just so Apple could make their already paper thin phone .1mm thinner. I can already barely hold the 4S it's so thin. What is this thin obsession??

No proof of LTE + voice necessary. It simply is. Every other LTE phone in the world, from the crappiest Chinese Android phone to their flagship models, support simultaneous LTE data & voice. If the iP5 doesn't, Apple is the stupidest tech company on the planet (since the Qualcomm chipset 100% supports it).

If it doesn't do LTE+voice, I'll post my ATM card number and PIN here on this forum.

Perfect example of why you don't just assume "It simply is".

If it doesn't work for you then don't buy it.

Switch to AT&T. It can do simultaneous voice & data on their LTE network.
