If you have visited the iPhone page on AT&T’s website, you may have been confused by the information provided. According to the Features section, “AT&T’s super-fast mobile broadband network puts iPhone 3G in the broadband fast lane with download speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps.” Huh? What about those new HSDPA cards that crank out data at 7.2 Mbps? What about Apple’s claims about the iPhone being faster then the competition? The Motorola Moto Q can get up to 3.6 Mbps! Those rates were even confirmed by an AT&T press release!
Unconfirmed sources say this is another one of Apple’s “under-promise, over-do” schemes, and that 1.4 Mbps is merely an average speed that will be seen by the average user. Those same sources claim the iPhone 3G, like the Moto Q will theoretically be capable of 3.6 Mbps. Apple better hope so if they plan to live up to their “Half the Price, Twice the Speed” claims.
