iPhone 7 – 4G LTE compatibility and speed

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus now have 4G LTE speeds of up to 450 Mbps, but nothing else important implemented by Apple.

In last night's conference, the Apple company talked a little about performance and compatibility iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus with 4G LTE networks from all over the world, listing all the useful information on its website. Listed below is this information and notice that we are talking about 4 iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models that are sold by the Apple company.

Two of the models have support for CDMA networks, two of them work only on GSM networks, and theoretically they all work in Romania as well. You can notice that the support for LTE frequencies is identical for both terminals, and in the case of GSM there is support for the frequencies in our country, so you should not have any problems using them.

Since last year, the Apple company has combined the GSM and 4G LTE frequencies for the iPhone, so that users can use their devices without problems regardless of where they go. Whether we are talking about a traditional GSM network or a CDMA one, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will work without problems regardless of the country you will travel to in the future.
