Next Generation 'iPhone 5' Won't Support 4G LTE Networks; Will Be Dual-Mode CDMA/GSM
While the arrival of Apple's iPhone on Verizon's network is widely speculated, people are wondering whether the Verizon iPhone will support Verizon's 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, which will be rolled out by the end of the year. AT&T has also announced plans of converting its network to LTE...

Boo :( who cares apple will eventually invent the iPhone that runs on world hunger, and then no one will have issues with them :)
-
i barely have 3G in my area so im pretty sure i wont be getting 4G/LTE anytime soon so as long as the performances and ram are bumped up and maybe a bigger screen i am good
-
who cares,$5.95 T-Mobile Edge is still doing good work for me and yahoo IM is as good as text ( text international for fre). 4G means $40 a month for network...krazy krazy craky....

I would like to see a iphone with a UTP conector :p
Hahaha that would be faster -
lol if only right haha....im sure they have the prototype somewhere

Sprint may be the forerunner in 4G, but have you seen Sprint's 4G coverage map? The don't even offer it in my state. So, I'm not concerned about all of the hype of 4G right now. On the other hand, if 4G/LTE covers most of the US (like 3G does now) then that might be something to rant about.
I'm in contract until the iPhone 6 comes out, so I don't care about if it's in iPhone 5 anyway :-) -
if they'd add AWS (1700MHz) support, then that would cover the new spectrum as well :)
-
CDMA and GSM cannot run together. It's either one or the other because both require very different processes. It would be like putting two phones together (which would make the iPhone the Fatphone)
-
I think apple should just get it done with at&t and offer unlocked iphones and unlocked iphones with a contract on most carriers for those who cant afford a unlocked without contract. That would be way better, more revenue for apple, more sales for apple hope only they can supply for the demand of iphones if that would ever happen.

CDMA gsm iphone is great! Blackberries on Verizon have same dual modes. I will leave AT&T in a heartbeat if this is true, and if I can retain my unlimited data plan.
-
I'm always on wifi so there.
-
Nice! Or maybe it could run on unemployment and foreclosures lol
-
1st off iphones are the best phone! That idea of apple releasing a unlocked an a lock iphone is a great idea apple need 2 tap into this gold mine that ther sittin on dueces$$

If iPhone 5 is not LTE, then I will wait for iPhone 6, since I have my VZW iPhone 4 with no dropped calls. iPhone 6 should: cook breakfast, wash clothes, vacuum and walk the dog!
