iPhone 5s: LTE or 4G reception icon

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

Could anybody confirm which icon should be displayed by the reception bar (dots) if we are under O2's 4G LTE Network? Is it 4G or is it LTE?

The reason I am asking is because in the US with t-mobile LTE is displayed when the phone is really connected to an LTE network and it displays 4G when connected to one of those enhanced 3G networks sometimes referred to as 3.5G like HSPDA+ and DC-HSPA+.

So what does it mean if my phone shows the 4G icon whilst on O2? is that really LTE?

Thanks in advance for your help with this topic.

So what icon next to the reception bar does it show? 4G or LTE? I would be super happy if it's LTE. LTE "looks" better than the 4G icon.

Does anyone here even on a 4G/LTE tariff?

It shows as 4G on O2 as far as I've seen.

Urgh. Bummer. 😞

I can never look at that '4G' icon the same way the Brits are after travelling to America.

EDIT: Well, guess I have to change it myself.

Only via a jailbreak (which isn't available yet for iPhone 5s or iOS 7) using something like a tweak called Zeppelin.
