The Apple iPhone 5 remains one of the most popular and highly regarded smartphone models on the market. Although it now faces increasingly impressive competition from manufacturers like Samsung, Sony and HTC, sales of the iPhone 5 have remained consistently strong since it hit the market last September. Naturally, the success of this device has set to plenty of speculation about the next instalment of Apple’s iconic smartphones series.
Believed to be called the iPhone 5S, it is expected that Apple will announce the device in September. While there has been plenty of speculation about the phone’s potential features, we will of course not know for sure until the California based manufacturer unveils the device. Recent speculation has suggested that the next iPhone model may even come with LTE-Advanced connectivity, which is the next generation mobile wireless standard, offering even faster data download speeds than 4G, which can reach 150 MB per second.
Currently, 4G is the fastest widely available means of downloading data over cellular network. While 4G LTE infrastructure is yet to be put in place in a number of countries, it is rapidly rolling out across many markets.
Apple Insider has recently reported that the company is in talks with SK Telecom, the South Korean mobile network operator regarding an LTE-Advanced compatible iPhone model in the country. The website reports that an executive from the network has stated that there is no reason for Apple not to release such a device in the country. It is still unclear whether this handset will be the iPhone 5S (or even a new version of the current iPhone 5), or if the next iPhone will come with LTE-Advanced connectivity as standard.

If Apple was to release the iPhone 5S with LTE-Advanced connectivity, it would give Apple a competitive advantage, so would be one of the first smartphone models with this feature to hit the market. Of course, if we hear of any further information about the next iPhone model ahead of its announcement, we will be sure to keep you updated.
