iPhone to go LTE in Future?

While everyone is still wondering what the iPhone 4G would turn to be like, there are some others who are looking even further down the lane. Questions like what will the iPhone look like and come loaded with in its 4G and beyond avatar is a hot topic for debate these days. With the world filled with people who are on the constant look out for any news on the iPhones of the future, even Apple's job listings are scrutinized thoroughly.


Understandably, a recent job posting related advertisement on the official Apple website has given rise to newspeculations about Apple's intentions with the iPhone. The company was seeking a "Cellular Technology Software Manager" with "expert knowledge of... WCDMA/UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, LTE etc." Now, that might sound like just another job posting ad and you come across daily. However, if you know your telephony jargon very well, you might understand that the iPhone 3GS happens to be a 3.5G handset and that so far no one had any idea if Apple was even interested in LTE.


It is also pertinent to note that LTE is actually a fourth generation technology, and if Apple decides to put in LTE support into the later versions of the next generation iPhone, the iPhone 4G moniker, will actually make sense.
