Lightning HTC was the first phone on the market with Verizon 4 G LTE and a new report from iSuppli suggests that mobile data capacity high speed greatly added to the cost. In fact, the company said that it is the most expensive phone to do is still burned.
In a report, iSuppli said:
The use of the standard wireless 4 G LTE in the ThunderBolt HTC added $39.75 the cost of the smartphone, which represents a major contribution to significant bill of materials (BOM) cellular telephony. In fact, $262, love at first sight is the highest price any smartphone that IHS BOM, competing with the expenditure of media tablets has never torn.
The first generation 4 G LTE modules are the main culprits, as they are not yet integrated into the main chipset and this is why devices like the HTC, LG and Samsung Droid charge revolution lightning are rather cumbersome and do not have great battery life. This is just the cost of doing business with first generation technology, but should be soon that companies become familiar with 4 G LTE technology evolving.
This is why we cannot see 4 G LTE support in the next iPhone, as the cost compromises and design may not be worth Apple immediately. Of course, Apple is known to be before the curve when it comes to components, so it is always a slim possibility that the next iPhone will support this. In addition, the "does"iPhone 4 G"has a ring of nice to her."
