If iPhone 5 supports LTE at 1800MHz in UK, is there going to be a firmware update to iPad 3 to 'enable' it?

Same Qualcomm radio chip in iPhone 5 and iPad 3 (see ifixit teardown photos).
The only difference would be the firmware. Apple - are you going to release one that turns off 700MHz and turn on 1800MHz?

  • Is there going to be any major updates for the iPhone 5c

    It's really annoying me because I was goin to get the iPhone 5s but I chose the 5c and there haven't been many updates to focus on the 5c but mostly for the 5c there should be a better layout like the 5s has a different. I know you people might want to read this or I might not ever be even recognised 

    What exactly are you talking about? iOS 7.1 is the same on a 5s as a 5c (with the exception of hardware specific functionality such as touch ID). The "layouts" are the same.

  • Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

    I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
    I have the latest iTunes installed.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    I attempted to install the newest OS update to my Iphone 4 this morning and got an error message that it couldn't install. Since there my phone has been frozen on a screen illustrating the USB connection to Itunes. The phone will not restore after 3 attempts.
    Any cures out there?

    You are in recovery mode. Restore it through iTunes on your computer.

  • Why does not my iPhone 5S work on LTE of Plus GSM network in Poland although my model supports LTE Band 3?

    am My iPhone 5S does not support LTE of the Plus GSM network in Poland? It works in Band 3 and my model supports that band but it is not possible to use LTE although it works on my other Android phone. The network operator suggested contacting Apple.

    Thank yo Tim, but actually I beg to disagree with you about that I chose to use the wrong carrier. But I have not given all details of the story:
    When I was buying the iPhone at an Apple store in the US I explicitly asked whether LTE would work on my network in Poland,which uses LTE Band 3. She was very nice and checked something in the specifications and said that the model I would buy supports this band so that everything would be fine.
    Unfortunately back in the country it turns out it does not work not and I expect Apple to take a stand on that. I have already filed a complaint on Apple helpline. I hope they will solve the problem...

    I assume you mean Voice over LTE (VoLTE)? If so, I do not believe it does. It certainly doesn't with my carrier (Verizon).

  • Will the unlocked iPhone 6 from UAE-Online-Apple-Store support LTE in UAE?

    Currently I'm trying to buy an unlocked iPhone 6 from UAE Online Apple Store. The unlocked iPhone price was 650 AED cheaper than the local provider unlocked iPhone!
    This makes me wonder why is that? and is there any thing technically different? And the most important question, is this inlocked iPhone 6, that I'm going to order from UAE Online Apple Store, will support LTE in UAE? (Note that all the carriers in UAE offer LTE on iPhone).
    Just to make sure that all the same before I order it.

    Do NOT buy the iphone 6 from UAE store.  It is only unlocked as far as the carrier choice goes.   There is NO FACETIME at all.
    Apple should be ashamed at calling it unlocked!   I ordered one and now they are delaying the return!  It's absolutely no use to me if it doesn't work and is only suited to a market that embraces technology.
    First, the term "unlocked" has nothing to do with which features are available to you. Second, the lack of FaceTime in the Middle East is nothing new. This is a restriction placed on Apple by local governments and carriers for all devices sold in those markets.

  • HT3939 is my iPhone 5s support LTE Advance?

    is my iPhone 5s support LTE Advance?

    Apple only guarantees LTE support using an iPhone designed for the country/region, on a supported carriers network, in that country region. Fact is, there are only three supported carriers in Malaysia, and U-Mobile is not one of them. Further, the iPhone is not officially sold in Cambodia, so if that's where you purchased this phone, then you purchased a grey market import, that could have come from anywhere.
    That's why you don't have LTE.

  • Can the unlocked iphone 6 support LTE in Malaysia?

    Can the unlocked iphone 6 support LTE in Malaysia?

    There is currently no support for LTE carriers in Malaysia for the iPhone 6 / 6+.  Only the 5/5c/5s support LTE in Malaysia.

  • With the ios 6.1 update, does iphone 4 (a1332) now supports LTE also?

    Hi guys!
       With the new ios 6.1 update, does iphone 4 (a1332) now supports LTE also?
    Thanks guys!

    Software updates cannot add hardware to the device.
    iOS 6.1 adds new features/software fixes, and security fixes. 
    Claiming it is useless is simply uninformed and uneducated.

  • When the update to support LTE will be released for Claro in the Dominican Republic?

    Claro in the Dominican Republic has launched LTE (since yesterday) and proceeded to sell or give the 4G LTE Sim cards so the users can have the service. I went over, got my new sim card and inserted in my Iphone 5 (A1428), and said to my self "I'm good to go". Turns out I wasn't. Unfortunately, I could not get it working. I even moved around the city to see where I could get 4G coverage.
    When I called customer service to argue about the lack of coverage and to discuss that this may be a scam from the company. The customer service person told me to go to settings>cellular> to toggle Enable LTE, and I replied that I did not have that option. Then the customer service clerk argued that I did not have an updated Device. My iphone 5 IOS version is 7.1.2.
    After doing some research while on the phone with the customer service representative (it was a 45 min long call) I had to agree with him that maybe apple has to "released" or "enabled"  the service for this specific carrier, just like it happened in Colombia when the LTE was introduced.
    Currently there are 3 companies (Tricom, Orange, and now Claro) offering 4G LTE in the Dominican Republic and None are listed in the 4G LTE availability per device per country according to apple.  https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/.
    So my question is: When the update to support LTE will be released for Claro in the Dominican Republic? (it would be great if an apple employee could get involve in this thread, or escalated it to who can do something about it.)

    FelipeV
    Let me tell you something: no one is saying go and do something illegal to enable this feature on your phone and no one is reporting any confidential information; the purpose of this thread is to clarify some points:
    The LTE Network for Claro DO is real, is functional and is not a Scam
    The LTE Network works with compatible devices except iPhones, not by decision of the carrier but the manufacturer.
    About that the date that when will be available is not a confirmed date, it's an estimate based on previous releases in other countries and information that I received from inside Claro, not a speculation (find the definition). Of course Claro hasn't confirmed because, like other says, is apple decisions and not their (you don't have to be a genius to figure that out).
    Forums are to express yourself freely about a specific topic, and to give your point of view whether you agree or disagree with something, but when you do be polite and do it with respect and not with arrogance as you just did hinting others are stupid and do not know what they are doing. Take an advice from some one with a little bit of experience, you don't know when you will need some help.
    Have a good night.

  • One 2 free can't support LTE at iPad Mini ?

    Dear All,
    Yesterday I bought the iPad Mini and my operator is One2Free but at the iPad Mini can't show the LTE signal is the iPad Mini have some problem ?
    But my iPhone 5 can show the LET show what problem at this ?

    I have exactly the same problem like u. I've been to one2free and apple store to enquire about it. Both of them answered one2free LTE is not officially support in iPad mini nor the iPad 4. we'll have to wait for the announcement for carrier update or some say maybe iOS 6.1 might officially support one2free LTE. In other word, we'll just have to wait.
    My friend who updated their ipad mini from iOS 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 were able to use one2free LTE, but I had no luck after I tried to re-install 6.0.2.
