iPhone 5 cannot do simultaneous voice and LTE data on CDMA

14 September, 2012
The reason for this is due to Apple's decision to go with a thinner and lighter design.

        Also consider that Safari doesn't even allow you to download anything.

If you are downloading with wifi then it doesnt interrupt. This happens with any network in any smartphone or feature phone in any country.

            I dont get the problem. Who cares, iphone is full of limitations and restrictions, and the fans love it. They didnt even have multitasking earlier, and the fans defended that serious shortcoming and said they didnt need it anyway. Now there is multitasking but very poor so, the apple fans love it still. Because, they could not care less, limitations imposed by apple is always good for these users.

              LTE networks cannot handle voice calls, only data connections so if you were downloading a file and you got a call your download would switch to hspa+ speeds for the duration of the call, the download would still continue just at a slower speed, lots of phones do this, what is unclear is whether the device will switch back after the call or at the end of the data session like the htc velocity does

Both iphone and Samsung have the same capability of LTE i.e. upto 100 mbps DL. There is nothing ultra or super. I have a wireless router of TP-LINK with 150 mbps wireless data transfer rate. Does this mean I have superultra fast wifi?

                      the performance of LTE depends on your network provider!!!

                        Hi all,

                        Simple question:

                        Does this mean that if i am for instance:

                        a) Downloading a file
                        b) or in the midle a skype calling
                        c) or watching a streaming video
                        d) or syncronizing email

                        if i get/make a gsm call, all those actions will be interrupted?

                                    This is just a small technical issue for sure Apple can fix it with no sweat.

                                    I guess the question here is, which is faster and more superior ?

                                    Apple's ultrafast LTE or Samsung's LTE?

                                      Engineers from Apple are idiots, you can use LTE, but you are not reachable when someone calls you. Just like dial-up from last century. I'm sure that Jobs would make something more inovative (only respected man from Apple if you ask me).

                                        hmm iphoney 5. Is there anything "magical" about it? Panoramic camera? Samsung has that. 4G LTE. Samsung has that. Faster web browsing? Samsung has that already. Prices for the Iphone 5 is expensive. Samsung doesn't have that. Go back to the drawing board Apple and think of something new. Steve Jobs please come back.
