    No, I think Apple is more focused on battery life for the LTE radios.

    I think The New iPhone* will at least support US LTE bands since The New iPad includes LTE capabilities. (*or iPhone 5) As for it having worldwide LTE bands, I'm not entirely sure. (Since the New iPad's LTE doesn't support all LTE bands, resulting it in the WiFi + 4G models now being called WiFi + Cellular models)

    I REALLY hope it supports AWS networks. If not, I'm staying with my i4

    If it doesn't support worldwide LTE then its a pretty pointless upgrade for most of the world

    It's intentional. It's added to every iPhone rumor post until it is released.

    Yea I've noticed. It's repetitive and bothersome to all the regular readers here but i understand how its informative for the one time reader.
