Apple iPhone 4S Mistakenly shows a 4G icon due to iOS bug

11 March, 2012 Apple

4G icon AT&T iPhone4s


Steve Jobs were right, iphone is a Magical device, Non of Apple iPhone 4S owners realized that you can suddenly turn your 3G device into a 4G device with a magical software update, Most of them are so excited to see that after downloading the new iOS update their phone now shows a "4G" icon. Those who realize that just is not possible are finding out that this a bug in the Apple Software.


But What is this problem ? Apple has never launched a 4G device before. The new iPad, which goes on sale next week, will be the first. The new iPad will run iOS 5.1, the same software that iPhone 4S owners are updating to. So, the long and the short of it is most likely Apple changed the operating system display so that the 4G icon would start showing up, but somehow whatever algorithm it used to determine if a user is in a 4G zone is being triggered by iPhone 4S customers.
