A network operator has suggested that the Apple iPhone 5S, successor of the Apple iPhone 5, will support LTE Advanced (LTE-A or LTE+). LTE Advanced is much faster than the regular 4G LTE.
The network operator in question is Deutsche Telekom, which suggested the next iPhone will support LTE-A in a press release. The press release was shared by German blog Macerkopf.de, and spotted by idownloadblog. According to the blog, “There has been little, if any, confirmation regarding the next iPhone’s improvements in the cellular radio technology department, which hasn’t stopped pundits from speculating whether or not the iPhone 5S features support for the ultra-fast LTE Advanced standard, also known as LTE-A or simply LTE+.
“Samsung notably promised to offer an updated version of the Galaxy S4 with LTE+ soon and now a cryptic comment by Deutsche Telekom suggests the iPhone 5S could in fact work with the latest cellular networking technology that offers at least twice the download speeds of the current-generation LTE standard.”
