Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have been told multple times by AT&T reps that the iPhone 4S is capable of LTE. Has anyone else been able to get this to work? I have been told that I have to go into a store to get some sort of software update and that the option for LTE should be there. I was told that new iPhone 4S's are being shipped with the capability of LTE and that AT&T can enable LTE through something with the IMEI.
Can anyone verify this?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1
No, you probably have not been told that the 4s is capable of LTE. You have been told that the 4s is capable of 4G. T-Mobile and AT&T both refer to HSPA+ as being "4G".
Only the iPhone 5 is capable of LTE. Period. And you cannot change it with replacing the hardware in the phone. Whoever told you that stuff does not know what they are talking about.
Well, I was just told by a TMO rep that the iPhone 4S is LTE capable and that the impending TMO carrier update will make that possible.
Now, I've understood all along that this is impossible since the 4S isn't supposed to have any LTE antenna, yet I was actually told otherwise.
Again, though, as deggie said, did they say "LTE," specifically, or "4G?"
He specifically said LTE. I stated my understanding that the 4S is NOT LTE capable. I think there must be some bad information in their documentation.

It would seem so.
Compare Specs of 4S http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-4s/specs.html
Vs
AT&T, LTE frequency support doc http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Whosoever told is not a technical guy.
This I know. The 4S has no LTE antenna.
The antenna is not the issue, it has no LTE radio chip b
Run, and run very, very far away from that store.
Everything else to say has already been said above.
I have an iphone 4s and AT&T continues to text me redundantly about my LTE device and available data plans. Also, I get emailed about it also as follows:
Dear Valued Customer,
We hope you are enjoying your LTE device!
We value your business and want to ensure you're set up with the right data plan for your LTE device.

They need to get their act together! Ugh
