Anyone concerned about LTE speeds once iPhone 5 hits?

[Channan]

Huh? Not sure where you're going with this. I'm the one refuting the fact that it has to be logical... I'm simply pointing out their pattern. Think everyone's a bit confused here.

I'm saying so far I see no pattern in naming the iPhones, but it's not logical to name the 6th generation iPhone the iPhone 5.

I can't say I agree with you that Apple will probably drop the silly names and just calls it "iPhone [year] model" but I would like to see that happen.

I admit I haven't read through the entire thread, especially with all the talk of iPhone naming, etc.

However, what I am worried about is the seeming lack of reliability of the LTE 4G network, or the devices that use the data connection. What I mean is the data outages I experience on my GNex (4G/3G), when my wife's Samsung Galaxy S (first generation) has a solid and reliable 3G connection when it is literally right next to my GNex.

Granted LTE doesn't quite have the 99% uptime that Verizon totes for their 3g network, but that doesn't mean LTE isn't reliable. Are you talking about the signal issues some people have with their Galaxy Nexus specifically?

iPhone 5 wont be out until the Fall. We have time.

It will be the iPhone 5, because that's one more than 4G.

There's a pattern, you just have to be perceptive enough to catch it.

They did it with the new iPad. Its not hard to see them doing it for the new iPhone. Or, they'll name it iPhone lte or something

Well they just did it with the iPad today.

Explain the pattern then.

Obviously now I can see them doing that. I never said they wouldn't though, just that I didn't think they would. And they still might not, but there's no way they'll call the 6th gen iPhone the iPhone 5 though.

No, it will simply be "The New iPhone."

A previous poster already did, you just chose to ignore it.

I don't get the naming discussion, Apple doesn't keep generations synonymous with their title. In fact they changed the title and dropped the g (network) entirely. The 3g gen 2, the 5th gen iphone is the 4S, so you think calling it the 5 is not logical? Never has been "logical".

 

[yosteve]

What you will notice is there will be promotion and an announced release date, they'll actually release out for preorder and it'll actually drop on that day. And it'll drop in Canada AFTER that. They wrote the book on releases.

What? That 5 comes after the number 4G? Lol

The first was called iPhone.

The second added 3G so they called it the iPhone 3G. The 3 in 3G has nothing to do with the generation of device it is.

The third kept the same design as the 3G but was faster so they called it the 3GS (S for speed). The 3 in 3GS has nothing to do with the generation of device it is.

The fourth wasn't called the iPhone 4 because 4 comes after 3GS. 3GS isn't a number; it's a name. It was called iPhone 4 because it was the fourth iPhone. The 4 has everything to do with the generation of device it is.

The fifth, like the 3GS, kept the same design as the previous model but it was faster so they called it iPhone 4S. The 4 in 4S has nothing to do with the generation of device it is.

They're not the best names, but they're all completely logical. If Apple doesn't drop the silly names and just call it iPhone or if they don't come up with another one like iPhone LTE, they'll name it after the generation of device it is again which would be 6. 5 makes no sense.

There's no point in me even arguing because you people think Apple is counting 3 3 4 4 so the next two models are obviously 5 5 even though that "pattern" is completely ignoring the first iPhone. But this has nothing to do with the original topic so I'm not going to argue any more.

 

[yosteve]

I highly doubt their scheme is... original, not gen, not gen, gen, not gen, not gen (or gen)...

Either way, that's not even enough iterations to establish a pattern. It's not an argument and I get what you're saying with your specific explanation. It's just not as clear as you say, cause the pattern you speak of, I agree you its not about the numbers. They really should name the next one iphone 4G

Grrr...Darn you! Okay technically not arguing so I'll reply.

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying there was a pattern. In fact, I was arguing against there being a pattern. That's why I said:

so far I see no pattern in naming the iPhones

Try to get back on topic? Lol.

Guess it's pointless now, question was answered on the first page.

Made me smile, sorry ot op, but im saying if you think there's no pattern how can you logically rule out then, calling it 5?
