iPhone 6S will be launched in the fall of this year by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), with 6S iPhone Plus, but until then we will have 8 months of rumors and pictures that will fully reveal our product. One of the novelties that Apple could offer for the device is compatibility with 4G+ or LTE Advanced networks in certain countries, which offer speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
During this year it was rumored that iPhone 6 will offer support for this type of networks, but the Apple company preferred to limit 4G connectivity to 150 Mbps, supported by most mobile networks. In 2015, most high-end smartphones come with support for 4G+ networks with speeds up to 300 Mbps, so the biggest question is if iPhone 6S will also contain it.
Will iPhone 6S be compatible with 4G+ 300 Mbps networks?
Although for now there are no images of iDevice components to confirm that Apple will provide support for this type of compatibility for iPhone 6S, Apple's GSM chip supplier has the technology ready. Qualcomm supplies the GSM chips used by Apple to provide GSM connectivity to iPhones or iPad tablets, and the company has had chips compatible with 4G+ networks for more than a year.
Apple avoided providing support for this type of network in the iPhone 6 due to the fact that global mobile operators have not yet developed the extensive infrastructure to support this technology. Practically, even the 4G networks are not yet sufficiently developed in certain areas of the globe, but the USA has a solid infrastructure and if AT&T and Verizon offer 4G+ networks, then there will be support in iPhones.
So far there is no evidence that the operators will launch networks of this kind, but if they do, then Apple will definitely support them from this year, even if the support could be limited to the US only. Apple made a similar move with the first 4G compatible iPad tablets and could do it with the iPhone 6S, if the situation demands it, but that's only because Apple has to certify the network before supporting it.
In Romania Orange has a 4G+ network that we talked about this year, Vodafone testing a similar network, Telekom also having one in development, but they cover small areas in certain cities and not large regions of the country, as in the case of 4G.
