Apple Cash Grab - Iphone 5

[Cowboy1600]

Yeah 500,000 is not much though. + how many of them are on 4G at the same time

A mate of mine actually is in dev for Telstra under mobile ops so playing around with this stuff all the time, i'll see if i can get more info from him.

Agree RE: 3G in the CBD, Telstra has been struggling bad for 12 months now.

It's also about 10,000 Telstra 3g towers plays 1,000 Telstra 4g towers.

One issue with 4G though it that the spectrum doesn't have the same ability to penetrate buildings as the 3G spectrum so I usually only get 3G when on the crapper

It might get stronger when power isn't being shared between 3g and 4g?

We've got repeaters internally on each floor - i get perfect reception everywhere with anything lol.

In other news -iPhone 5 4G won't work in OZ apparently.

Iphone 5 was quoted to be compatible with Telstra, Optus and virgin 4g networks in apple's presentation

[R31Nismoid]

Well i said apparently.

I CBF'd digging further into it to find out if there is any truth

[Cowboy1600]

Pretty sure Telstra is Band 3 which the iP5 works on.

Would be simply hilarious if it didn't. But I'm fairly certain it does. Don't know about the Optarse or Vodafail networks.

It was not the iPhone 5 that had the wrong band.

[bigkevracer]

iPad had the wrong bands, didn't work on 4G here, and they got sued for false advertising for promoting it as 4G.

New iPhone comes in three varieties to deal with all the bands in various countries.

Also relevant.

Err they had the same issue in the UK and other areas because the US use a diffrent band to most other countries. The telcos have no real choice as to which band they use as they are not all up for sale at the same time and are used for different purposes in different countries.

Lol.

I like it.

[Cowboy1600]

The Samsung marketing department has been kicking goals lately. They really are giving it to Apple.

Then again, Apple has given them plenty of fodder with the whole "patent for swiping" thing and of course Apple iSheeple continue to be the butt of many jokes the world over.

I will probably get a Samsung next time round because A) they make excellent phones and B) they continually pisstake Apple.
