I use an I 6C and have yet to see the (at a minimum) 3G logo in the upper left of the screen. It's always saying LTE -whatever that means  . My service is through Verizon currently, but I'm having signal strength issues more and more frequently  . Just what does LTE mean anyhow and should there be an icon for the "G" signal on the phone  ??

| Old gal got a new 1 last month She had nothing but trouble with it for the first few weeks. They reprogrammed it several times. Last time seems to have worked. She is thru ATT here. Version is non existant in our part of the state. You might need a reprogram. They couldn't do it locally, had to be done at corporate level. |

| LTE is actually a step up from 3 G. LTE is “4G”. Signal strength is a different, like whether you’re covered or not. The G is more about bandwidth and data speed. |

| Where 5G does NOT play by the rules, the Chinese developers have added tracking systems and other 'Innovations' so the Chinese can legally spy on the user as MUST agree to terms that will include such. Many if not Most phone users are oblivious to the "Terms" agreements click YES never read and continue on down that one way street. |
