When it comes to 4G LTE tech it appears that Android is taking the lead with the latest technology with the likes of the Samsung Epic 4G, HTC EVO 4G, T-Mobile myTouch 4G, Samsung Galaxy S 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, and so on, but those in the iOS camp that is Apple seem to be somewhat timid in taking the leap to 4G.
However that may change at some point in the future, as according to an article over on Intomobile by way of Phone Scoop, the CEO of Verizon, Dan Mead, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, stated…“You’ll see more coming from Apple on LTE. They understand the value proposition of LTE and I feel very confident that they are going to be a part of it.”
Just what 4G LTE Apple gear may come eventually isn’t known, perhaps a 4G LTE iPhone 6 in 2012 as one analyst claims which we reported on (here), or maybe we will see a 4G LTE enabled Apple iPad sometime next year.
To be honest it isn’t all that surprising 4G Apple gear will be making its way to the mobile space sooner or later especially as LTE will probably dominate the mobile arena before too long and I’m fairly sure Apple won’t want to be resting on their laurels with an outdated iPhone technology for too long.
We all know that 4G is the future of mobile devices, Android is already ahead of the game while Apple looks to be falling further and further behind in the uptake of 4G, thus although the iPhone 5 probably wont have 4G tech, the following iPhone more than likely will otherwise Apple runs the risk of falling way behind rival Android.
What do our readers think on this matter, is it about time Apple delivered a 4G enabled device, or will Android be left to dominate the 4G LTE mobile space?
