I don't know the difference between the two chips so please excuse me; however, I really do anticipate that the next iPhone carries the capability of the LTE speeds.

Will the iPhone 4S/5 be 4G or 4G/LTE?

The next iPhone will not have LTE unless Apple has more advanced equipment then the rest of the world. The problem is LTE needs its own special radio along with whatever other radio the phone comes with. Until manufactures get both radios on a single chip I doubt we will be seeing LTE from Apple.

Yeh same i don't think that the LTE chips would be very helpful unless apple can somehow set up special radio signal towers.
Huh? That makes absolutely no sense. Since when does Apple set up any towers? The towers are owned and operated by the carriers.
That said, all indications point to no LTE, but only time will tell.

I was trying to say that special towers would be needed in order to use LTE technology and without a company like apple forcing this, the spreading of it might take longer. Does it make more sense now? I might have worded it a bit incorrectly thanx for pointing it out..
Wait, can the iPhone still be 4G without the LTE?
And if the new iPhone is 4G capable, do I have to upgrade my AT&T plan to use it?
