I saw this very same thing last year when traveling in our motor home to Billings Montana from Las Vegas Nevada. It was over 1100 miles one way and we came back through Yellowstone National park. I watched my iPhone 4 with AT&T go from 3G to LTE to No Coverage and back again. It was pretty cool riding down the road with my iPhone 4 and an earphone plugged into the headphone jack because the output of the iPhone speaker isn't loud enough at 55 miles an hour.
I couldn't tell much difference between the 3G and the LTE when downloading. Sense the iPhone 4 won't show 4G in the status indicator it won't matter. When I could get a signal though, I never had a problem sending text messages or downloading mail. The few times I visited web sites, I noticed no differences at all. Sense then, I bought the Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard when it was on sail for 26 bucks USD. The only thing I use it for is email. With it I can read and reply to email pretty much just I could at home. That doesn't mean though that the next road trip we take I won't take a laptop with me. My laptop delivers 10 and a half hours of battery power and it's fine for watching movies I've converted to .AVI format and saved to it's hard drive. ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

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.
