Hi Tom,
Andy's answer is almost correct. LTE and 4G are actually thought of as the same, however, AT&T chose to display their HSPA+ connection as 4G even though theoretically it's 3G. I think maybe it's supposed to make people feel better or that they are getting something faster than they are getting. In any case, LTE if that is how AT&T is now showing that you have a true LTE connection definitely is a lot faster than what they used to call 4G and which most other carriers called 3G.

So here goes. I've used an iPhone 4 on AT&T for 2 and a half years with either wi-fi or 3g, and now that I've had my 5S on AT&T for a couple of weeks now, I'm curious about something. When I'm not connected to wi-fi and am out and about, sometimes my status bar will say 4g, and other times it will say LTE. Is there a difference between the two? What's 4g all about versus LTE, and why would I see one versus the other? Thanks, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
