Re: idunno No iPhone supports LTE. AT&T refer to their HSPA+ network as "4G", and the iPhone supports that. The confusion is due to AT&T's deceptive marketing.

But it's faster than 3G?
I know you can get over 10Mbps down and 3Mbps up on the AT&T iPad 3 with 4G LTE with $30/mo grandfathered unlimited.

Williamsport, PA | The problem has to due with how loosely the terms are being used. It all comes down to marketing.
Camera manufacturers do this too. There are 8 MP cameras that take MUCH BETTER photos than most 12+ MP cameras do.
I am not saying HSPA+ isn't fast, or even faster than what we are used to calling 3G. I just think that AT&T intentionally confuses people with how they label it as 4G, which most people associate with LTE (which has a much higher potential than HSPA+).
I still think it's funny that AT&T is moving forward with LTE when they still have a very large portion of their coverage area on horribly slow EDGE. Verizon is putting them to shame with their commitment to LTE deployment and coverage consistency.
