4G LTE in Bangladesh

4G was launched on 19 February, 2018 in Bangladesh. But there's no support for LTE by Apple in Bangladesh. Currently there are more than 1.5 million iPhone users in Bangladesh. So I would like to request for a LTE support software update for Bangladesh as soon as possible. The carriers providing 4G/LTE are Grameenphone, Airtel, Robi and Banglalink.

iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.6

Apple doesn't control this; the carriers do. They need to create a carrier update to be installed on the phone. To check for a carrier update go to Settings/General/About on the phone and tap on the carrier name. If the carrier has issued a carrier data update you will be prompted to install it. If they haven't you need to contact them to find out when they plan to.


You also need to make sure that the phones you have support the LTE bands available in Bangladesh. You can check the bands here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/.


Also, just because the feature has been announced it does not mean that all towers have been upgraded to LTE yet, so coverage may be spotty or non-existent in some (or many) areas.
