Administrators Nathan Posted March 10, 2012 Administrators Posted March 10, 2012 Well since I updated my phone to the newest rev of software my phone shows 4G this happen to anyone else or am I just lucky? Proof: Quote
Creaky Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I don't think youre actually getting 4G, reading this it appears to be a marketing ploy only. http://www.neowin.net/news/iphone-4s---now-with-bogus-4g Quote
ChuckTesta Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah, you're not actually getting 4G* speeds. ATT has 4G (similar to LTE for Verizon and WiMax for sprint) but they don't have it for the iphone yet. The only Apple product right now to support it is the new iPad. Quote
DarkGizmo Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 It's just a marketing ploy as others have stated.I wonder if we'll actually get 4G speeds via a firmware update? I don't think so because wouldn't the device need 4G bands inside the phone? I doubt the iPhone 4S has them? So it'd require a nw handset all together for 4G speeds wouldn't it? Quote
Administrators Nathan Posted March 11, 2012 Author Administrators Posted March 11, 2012 I didn't think I was really getting it, b/c as you say Dark, the 4s hardware isn't 4G. Quote
DarkGizmo Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah. Unless Apple slipped a 4G band in the device and didn't mention it, which I highly doubt. I don't think the iPhone will have true 4G until the next version, which will more then likely be the iPhone 5. Quote
ChuckTesta Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Yupp. This summer look for the next iPhone. They'll probably call it, "The New iPhone" and it will have 4G speeds... which is amazing! in my area, it's about 30 meg down and 5mb up. Not too shabby! Quote
TehPhantom Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I dont rely on 4G speeds, it doesn't really do much IMO. But yeah, I guess it looks good. Quote

DarkGizmo Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Well I'd hate for them to release a new iPhone so soon after releasing the 4S. I just upgraded to the 4S if they were going to release the iPhone 5 this summer I would've waited! Dammit! Quote
Administrators Nathan Posted March 12, 2012 Author Administrators Posted March 12, 2012 I'm still going to upgrade Quote
