iPhone 5: Apple has the luxury to validate 4G/LTE networks operators!

A spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom reveals Apple tests 4G/LTE networks of partners before authorizing or not the activation of 4G connectivity on the iPhone 5.Since the dawn of time (and even before), the operators modus operandi is immutable reference when it comes to mobile in their catalog. In summary, they test and re-test devices, in particular to be very sure of their compatibility with cellular networks. Clearly, operators almost of life or death over the career of a mobile, especially in markets such as France, which are heavily subsidized.
Clearly, if a mobile phone is not listed in the offer of an operator, and therefore available in a pack at the subsidized operator said its sales did not take off in France. This relentless mechanical still suffers from a grain of sand. A huge grain of sand is the same as the iPhone. From the first day, Apple dictates its law to its partners and to comply with their little way to go. Few operators in the world to refuse to allow the conditions of Apple. But most will bend bad graces as it is important for them to have the iPhone in their catalog.

But the news of the day revealed by TechCrunch shows that the requirements of Cupertino seem to go further than we thought. According to the site, Apple is going to test 4G networks of its carrier partners. Yes, you read correctly, it is the manufacturer that evaluates LTE networks are good enough to hold its iPhone 5. It is not there a rumor, but an information initially provided by a spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom. He confirmed that Apple activated features a 4G iPhone 5 that he was satisfied with the tests conducted. Despite the fact that it has a brand new 4G/LTE network, Swisscom is suddenly unable to sell the smartphone as a device compatible with this technology upon its release since Apple had not finished testing mentioned above. Obviously, Apple does so to ensure that your smartphone and therefore consumers the best possible experience. But in doing so, he gets back to the operators. The Cupertino company is in a strong position now and can afford many things. But we expect that if the wind changes, operators will not do him any gift.
