The first buyers of new iPhone in Russia waiting for a considerable disappointment. It turned out that the new items from Apple, as the company’s previous smartphones do not support the Russian frequency LTE.
More precisely speaking, iPhone 5C and 5S is a practical opportunity to work with our frequencies. But this function is disabled in the apparatus at the software level. Apple’s website on a page, which publishes information about the LTE support for different operators in countries where there are novelties, Russia and Russian operators have not appeared after the official start of sales.
The situation was already reacted to the Minister of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov (who knows, maybe he is pierced with the purchase of a new iPhone?) In his official twitter official wrote: “The situation with the iPhone and the # 4G # LTE in Russia was a strange and requires the attention of anti-monopoly services “.
Previously Apple has faced such a problem. Usually in such cases kupertinovtsy released a firmware update to unlock the desired LTE operator when they “have the confidence that the network provides adequate coverage and quality of communication, since the low quality of communication discredits the product in the eyes of buyers”.
to the discussion connected and mobile operators. The representative of VimpelCom, for example, promised that their frequency LTE will be available to users as soon as Apple completes testing of their network. MTS now only hopes to cancel the lock. Vodafone, which so far ahead of other operators in terms of promoting LTE-frequency, said that, technically, is ready to take iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, but the decision still rests with Apple.
