That's good and all but...

Please don't tell me 5S/C's cannot support O2's LTE band. O2 is not listed while EE and Vodafone are.

That seems to be an omission as the frequency O2 are using is there.

Thank God that I don't ever need to use the nurse.

Can you also confirm Model A1532/33 will support O2's LTE frequency? I may have to purchase an unlocked phone from the US since I go there every year.

The 800mhz band isn't support by the Europe devices from that list.

Do that also mean if you buy the version that does support the 800mhz you wont be able to use a EE or Vodafone sim card?

800mhz is shown on A1532/33 (USA) models. In fact, the USA model has all the LTE bands the European one has except band 7 (which O2 doesn't use).

It was said in the keynote that iPhone 5S will support most LTE bands around the world, but it looks like that is exclusively for the USA models.

A1507/A1457 (EU) models only has 7 LTE bands, which AT&T and T-Mobile from America do not use.

And I used the O2's iPhone 5 in the US using T-Mobile (USA) network, and the coverage is bad because iPhone 5 (EU) didn't support T-Mobile's AWS band. It's going to be the same again for iPhone 5S (EU).

So if you plan to travel to America and make use of their 3G/LTE networks there, you have to get the unlocked US model of iPhone 5S. Remember, the US model is also compatible with O2's LTE.

Hi Edwardarsenalvx, just wanted to mention that we haven't been able to confirm that as yet. Looking into it.

I don't think this needs confirming...the US model is far superior as it holds most of the bands including band 19 and 20 (I don't know which one O2 uses between those bands).
