Apple to not support LTE 4G until 2012?

According to TechCrunch, Apple will likely not make a phone that supports LTE 4G until 2012.

Major carrier Verizon will begin to rollout its LTE network this year, with full rollout expected by the end of 2011.



AT&T will begin their rollout next year.

The site says Apple is waiting for the technology to mature before supporting it, as the LTE transition is expected to be slow at the start.

Furthermore, the site says instead the company will release a dual mode GSM-CDMA iPhone that will work with T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. Rival Sprint uses WiMax 4G for its smartphones.

LTE promises downstream speeds up to 500 percent faster than current 3G.

  In other news, they have put all their efforts behind HTML5, which is the only thing that their devices support, and which does not even have a finalized standard yet!

Lol sometimes I just don't understand apple, I try to give them the benefit of doubt but then they always continue to make decisions that baffles me.
