Hello,

I was taking a look at http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ and http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/specs/ and was wondering, why Apple releases 5 models of each new iPhone?

I created a spreadsheet with each frequency supported by each model, take a look. The Sprint version supports all frequencies of the other 2 US models as well, why not release one model then? And the European model seems like the worst of all. We get LTE Band 7, which is actually used here, but lose support for a lot of other frequencies?

Kind regards,
hanzoh
