As with the third-generation iPad, Apple announced that the new smartphone would support the new LTE wireless standard. But in Germany that will not be much use to many customers, because the iPhone 5 supports only a specific LTE frequency band that, in this country, is used by just one network operator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, at first I could hardly believe it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone\/LTE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">But Apple\u2019s list of network operators whose LTE networks can be used in Europe<\/a> showed only Deutsche Telekom alongside one British provider. \u201cThat cannot really be right,\u201d I thought.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now Apple presents its new do-everything smartphone, yet the European version \u2013 model A1429 \u2013 supports LTE in Germany only on this 1,800 MHz frequency. That is certainly good news for Deutsche Telekom: anyone who wants to use LTE with the new iPhone has to stay with the expensive DTAG provider or switch to it.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/michael-hoepfl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/LTE-1800-Netz-der-DTAG.jpg\" alt=\"The dark areas show Deutsche Telekom&#x2019;s current 1,800 MHz LTE network.

And by now there are plenty, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nokia.com\/de-de\/produkte\/smartphones-und-handys\/lumia920\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nokia Lumia 920<\/a>. It also supports LTE and is not limited to 1,800 MHz. What do you think? In my view, Apple has ultimately made the iPhone 5 unnecessarily unattractive to many German customers with this approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, with the usual fanfare, yet another new iPhone was unveiled.
