Now that 4G is on iPad, can we count on iPhone having it?

[irDigital0l]

Its pretty much 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% sure.

It wouldn't make sense for Apple not too...

What are you guys talking about, the 4S has it!

What do you mean? I have it now! I'm guessing this is a solar flare related screwy thing with AT&T here in Detroit, but my non-jailbroken (never has been) iPhone 4s has decided to start telling me it has 4G today, lol!

After the iOS update my iPhone 4s started to display the 4G at the top too... i am in southern CT by the way

My iPhone 4S displayed 4G mode today after downloading new iOS for the first time ever.

There's a difference between AT&T's FAKE HSPA+ "4G" and REAL LTE 4G. The iPhone is HSPA+ compliant, but it's not 4G. AT&T (and T-Mo) like to say HSPA+ is 4G, but it's really just 3.5G. Verizon and AT&T both have true 4G LTE, but Verizon has it nearly nationwide, and AT&T only has it in select cities.

still depends on network holders, otherwise 4g is just ****

Nearly nationwide? It's more than AT&T, but it's still very far from being nearly nationwide.

I was being sarcastic, with the new "4G" symbol and all....seems like Sonicjay was as well.

I don't know what would be so hard about having it display "H+" a la Moto Atrix 4G. There's already a lot of discussion about that though.

Well, it's not Nationwide, but it's very widespread, especially around the eastern US. AT&T's is much much smaller, and T-Mo doesn't even have real 4G.

They claim their 4G coverage will be as widespread as their 3G coverage by the end of 2013. If that's the case, then it won't be that long 'til it matches AT&T's existing 3G coverage (which is pathetic compared to Verizon's). I'm thinking I'm just going to pay the ETF and switch to Verizon this fall if the new iPhone is indeed 4G.

Hopefully they would do something similar to this. It seems that it's all up to the network provider, not Apple. So hopefully they'll come up with something sense they decided to confuse everyone with the new 4G symbol.

Did anyone notice this picture of the iPad with the LTE in the top left?

Just noticed mine has the same thing after doing the update last night.

4G and 4 inch screen please Apple!!

and we can call it the iPhone 4!

 

[ct2k7]

Well, Apple still have two devices for the iPad, I'm sure that they'd have only 1 if they could.

So, is there an LTE capable chip that works on both spectra?

We are talking about today, right? Not claims of something that might be two years from now. TODAY, they are far from nationwide. As I have learned with all carriers promises, you should believe it when you see it.

I don't disagree with that. But widespread along the eastern US and nationwide are two very different beasts.
