SVDO is CDMA technology. If they tweak the antenna design they can do CDMA Voice/LTE Data.
P.S - Nice Glock.
I doubt it on the 5S.
Would make sense to do the whole redesign of the antenna system on the next major iphone release like the iphone 6 next year.

iPhone 4 and 4S antenna systems were completely different. iPhone 4S, apple introduced a dual antenna design that the 4 didn't have
If this CEO actually uses his head, the same can be accomplished with the 5S
It's defineately possible, they just need to change the antenna design. They changed it in the 4-4S so why not the 5-5S. LTE networks I the U.S have become significantly more widespread so I think its likely.
True but with neither the iphone 4 or 4S you could do talk and surf on a CDMA network.
Not entirely correct. The CDMA iPhone 4 had a dual design, but it could only receive two streams and transmit one. The iPhone 4S change that to a two transmit ability.
This feature alone would be enough of a push to get the high end new iPhone. I'm constantly on my phone and constantly waiting for emails. Its annoying to say "let me call you back in a minute I need to check my email".
I would switch to a GSM carrier but its a phone supplied by my employer so it is what it is.
I used to use a tablet and a wifi hotspot while in my company vehicle and that worked ok but its a bit of a hassle.

Either I or one of my bosses would have shot me in the face by now if I had to put up with that.
Well to be honest I'm usually on the phone BS'ing with other co-workers. So no one really brings it up.
I am thinking about going to At&t if it doesn't because I don't really care for any android phones that Verizon offers at the moment but I really want to have this ability.
Additionally since Sprint is rolling out 800 MHz LTE soon, I would imagine they're asking Apple to include that LTE band in the next iPhone version.
Yeah, in a couple years. I'd like to see this now. I know the world is predominately GSM but there are still some large CDMA markets out there.
I know we won't see this on the next iPhone but its a nice thing to hope for.
the iPhone will be able to do it once Verizon releases Voice over LTE (VoLTE or VoIPLTE)
LTE advanced are just higher LTE Speeds

1) This so needs to happen, especially if it means better voice quality. Of course when you call all these darn landlines, it means very little.
2) I saw VoLTE and thought you were talking about a cartoon robot made of lions for a second.
