If you are an Apple iPhone user, it is always ‘Your wishes are our command’ for Apple Inc. It seems every wish and slightest problem faced by an iPhone user is taken care of; from upgrading the storage space to adding new feature and interactive applications like Google Maps. Apple iPhone does it all.

It has not being long when users expressed their dissatisfaction for the minimal 8GB memory of the iPhone. Apple was soon to react and launched the 16 GB storage capacity iPhone, enabling users to have more space for storing images, videos and music, etc. and that too at a reasonable increase of $100.

Again, if you sometimes feel that the download speed provided by AT&T in your iPhone could have been better, do not be surprised if I tell you your wish has been fulfilled. All iPhone users in the United States can now experience faster upload and download speeds from the 700 MHz spectrum, which AT&T has just purchased for billions of dollars.

It has been quite a prevailing issue with iPhone users, who

were stressed with the relatively slow speeds of AT&T’s EDGE network. In a recent update, it was acknowledged that AT&T has won the approval from the FCC to purchase 12 MHz of spectrum in the 700-MHz band in markets. This is estimated to cover 196 million potential subscribers across the United States, who can look forward to ‘faster data rates to download data and video’.

Industry experts believe that this increase of speeds in iPhone with High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), which can typically provide downlink speeds of 3 Mbps and uplink speeds of 1.5 Mbps would help users have better interactivity in their iPhones; which was initially limited to 50 to 110 Kbps speed.

Reports indicate that AT&T, the exclusive service provider of Apple iPhones in the United States has paid $2.5 billion to Aloha Partners for the spectrum. And it is expected that AT&T will use UMTS/HSUPA as an interim technology in iPhones; as it is believed that the compatibility of HSUPA data rates is better with Wi-Fi, thereby, creating a more familiar experience for users.
