Apple iPhone 5 will not support all LTE networks in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world.
iPhone 5 comes with many good but there are some bad news came with the most awaited product of 2012. Apart from maps (At least there is one working version), iPhone won’t support all the LTE frequencies in Europe market.
Apple iPhone 5 Supported LTE Frequency Bands
The European GSM model of the iPhone 5 supports LTE in the 850 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2.1 GHz bands. Those bands can be used by relatively few operators in Europe, including EE in the UK and Deutsche Telekom in Germany. Vodafone and Telefónica will be restricted to offering the latest Apple smart phone with access to their slower 3G services.
Does this mean that Samsung, NOKIA and HTC will get a boost in their sell as all of them support LTE and have different solutions for different operators?
One of the iPhone’s biggest market Sweden is also kept out of this loop means iPhone 5 will not support any LTE frequency bands here.
