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.

AdamBoy64, 14 Sep 2012Yeah, my Nokia S40 phone can do data/calls at the same time... moreIf i'm not mistake even the Nokia Asha 302 can do the same. Yeah we have the old model phones that can do voice and date at the same time (and still works) that the iP5 can't.

      So first we learn that it has no NFC and now we learn that it cannot handle voice and LTE simultaneously. What's next? Are we going to find that the camera does not take shots during daylight?

              You don't Say GSMARENA !!!
              THE GSM VERSION OF THE IPHONE 5 DOESN'T Have this problem ...! REALLY

              I think it'll be fun to have DIAL UP limitations brought back again .
