No LTE iPhone 5, but iPhone 5 could be 4G
At CES, AT&T stated that they weren't going to launch any LTE phones until 2012. From this, everyone correctly interprets this to day that the iPhone 5 due out this summer from AT&T won't have LTE.
There has been no statement from Apple, Verizon, or AT&T on if the iPhone 5 will have 4g or not. All of the rumors about the lack of 4g are based on the above statement from AT&T, and incorrectly applied.
Personally, I expect the Apple iPhone 5 to be 4g using HSPA+. I assume Verizon will then be pissed if there's isn't also 4g, so the Verizon one may include LTE. If not, then I expect to see lots of AT&T commercials on how the AT&T iPhone 5 is 4g, but the Verizon one is only 3g.
I've heard the same about the iPhone5 having no 4G. What a shame for Apple.
