There's no one standard definition of "4G". A myriad of differing technologies all claim to be 4G, which is why it's just about impossible for a vendor to produce a device compatible with every one worldwide. If "4G" had a solid definition, and everybody was using it, but iPad didn't support it, then it would be understandable.
- CraigRood 14y agoWhile I agree theres no standard definition, theres a general agreement between all parties that LTE is "4G" and HSDPA+ is "3G" (or "3.5G" if you will). To argue the semantics of what "3G" and "4G" really is only confuses customers even more - and thats exactly what Australia and the UK are trying to prevent.
- chris_wot 14y agoExactly. By stating that something is 4G compliant, when there is no real defined way of easily defining the term, then it's pretty misleading!
