iPhone 4S displays 4G connectivity on US networks

  After the update to iOS 5.1, many of the Americans who own iPhone 4S terminals have noticed that their devices display 4G connectivity in the status bar. AT&T has this type of active network in the USA, but the iPhone 4S terminal is not compatible with it, it can connect to HSPA+ networks and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps. The display of this indicator for Americans is a marketing move and nothing more, because there the HSPA+ networks on which speeds of up to 21 Mbps can be reached are called 4G by the mobile operators.
