4G network compatibility in iPhone

4G network compatibility

One of the big features missing from the iPhone 4S is next-gen 4G data network support (AT&T is pretending HSPA+ is a 4G network but it's really a 3.5G network).

Apple finally delivered 4G support with the new iPad, but it's worth noting that rather restrictive data caps have been an issue, making the feature less attractive than it once seemed (streaming lots video will cause you to run up against your cap pretty quickly).

Nevertheless, we fully expect that the next iPhone will support 4G LTE networks. Whether you'll be able to tap into every LTE network around the world is another story. Earlier this year, Apple had to stop advertising the new iPad as a 4G "capable" device in Australia after it turned out it was incompatible with 4G networks in that country. 

Chances of implementation: 100 percent
