The ever sketchy href="http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/index.php?ID=14309">Macotakara has a shot from a China Unicom presentation at MacWorld Asia 2011. See the iPhone 5 up there? It’s labelled HSPA+ 21Mbps, aka 4G:
Japanese IT news site “PC Watch” tells that, Research vice president of China Unicom, Huan Wenliang, told iPhone 5 will support W-CDMA based high-speed data transfer standard HSPA Evolution “HSPA+” (21Mbps) at keynote speech in Macworld Asia 2011.
The general assumption was that Apple was going to stick away from 4G LTE for another year until it was better handled by modern phones, but that was based on a Summer release of the iPhone 5. By delaying until Fall, Apple may be pulling together a better, faster, more advanced model with the ability to use the much higher speed network (and eat through your data that much faster).
