Why do my phone shows 4G instead of LTE?

I don’t know why, but it only appears 4G, and doesn’t LTE

iPhone 5s

Hello Rafafranca08 and welcome to Apple Support Communities.


I see you have a question about 4G versus LTE.


While the two things are often seen as the same, in truth they are different technologies. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is actually a term used for network speeds that approach true 4G without actually being true 4G networks. What you see on that screen will depend on your carrier.
