What's sad is I hear that all too often. It's the fourth iPhone, that doesn't mean it's 4G. All the letters and numbers confuse people X_X
...
LOL 🤣
But on a serious note, I'm highly disappointed that both At&t and Verizon didn't include the SF Bay Area/Silicon Valley in their initial launches of LTE.

I have no idea where they got the launch cities from. I three cities in Texas, then Atlanta and Chicago? I'm sure they talked it through, but you'd think California and Florida, plus the northeast, would be higher up on the list than where they went...
...
About the cities... I believe AT&T is based out of Texas. I'd think it's much easier to setup and work on the closer it is to home base.

I work for a Verizon retailer and I love when people come in with an Iphone 4 and tell me how fast the 4G speeds on their phone are. But then they get mad at me when I tell them that there phone isnt a 4G phone then they get really mad when I tell them that there isnt any 4G for about 100 miles.
...
These people are pathetic. All they have to do is look at the signal indicator and see whether it says 3G, or 4G.

When I worked for at&t I once had a customer tell me that they are getting 4G on Verizon....this call by the way was in summer 2009.....
She wasn't happy when I told her that Verizon didn't have a 4G network and that even if they did there are no 4G capable phones on the market anywhere.....
She then accused me of calling her a liar, which, obviously, she was.....but I never used the word 'liar'....:-)
...
Maybe at&t's initial launch is just from roaming agreements with verizon's towers.
...
It comes down to spectrum assets in the markets along with backhaul fiber to those sites. Those are strong markets for ATT. Verizon did the same thing on the initial LTE launch
