Could the HTC Holiday be AT&T’s first LTE phone?

By Mike Dunn September 6, 2011

Is this HTC phone the first LTE handset on AT&T’s new LTE network? We first heard about the HTC Holiday in August, but some new pictures are showing something we didn’t hear about. It looks as though the Holiday will be on AT&T’s LTE network when it is released. The pictures not only show some that the phone is on AT&T’s LTE, but also shows just how fast that network might be when it is available.

From our earlier report we said the Holiday should have a 1.2gigahertz dual core processor, a 4.5-inch qHD screen, and run HTC’s Sense 3.0. The picture we see here shows that at least the Sense 3.0 rumor seems to be true, and since Sense 3.0 is only available on dual core phones it seems as though the dual core rumor is also true. We can’t tell from the pictures if the screen is actually 4.5-inches, or what the resolution is, but we can see the styling of the phone matches the hardware that was leaked last month.

Even though the front of the Holiday looks like every other HTC phone on the market, it is nice to see HTC making a change to the rear of the phone. The very angular design of this phone is a refreshing change to HTC’s tried and true phone models for the last couple of years.

As for the potential speed of AT&T LTE network, it looks to be currently faster than any reported Verizon download speeds to date. Of course it has to be stated that this phone is currently running on a network that is basically empty, so no one else is sharing its bandwidth. Time will tell just how fast the network will be in real world situations.

There is no word on release date for this phone, or any LTE phone on AT&T, the only clue we have is that AT&T does not plan to have any LTE phones available until the end of 2011.

iPhone 15: release date and price predictions, leaks, rumors, and more

iPhone 15 render by 4RMD

As great as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are, they're both already a few months old at this point, and the rumors about the iPhone 15 are well underway. We still have several months before the iPhone 15 models drop, though, as Apple usually makes iPhone announcements in the fall. In other words, there's still a lot of time for more rumors to make the rounds -- and make the rounds they will.

We're keeping all of the reports and rumors of the iPhone 15 here in a single place for your convenience, but do remember to keep in mind that these are all still just speculation. Nothing is final until Apple confirms it during an official announcement. Still, a lot of the rumors give us an idea of what to expect each year, which is unfortunate if you like surprises. Here's everything we know about the iPhone 15 so far!

I really hope this iPhone 15 Pro price leak isn’t true

We’re just a few months away from Apple revealing the next-generation iPhone 15 lineup in the fall. However, a new report from Chinese outlet Economic Daily News suggests that the entire lineup could see a price increase of 10% to 20%.

This isn’t great news. For the standard iPhone 15, that means it could start at $899, which is $100 more than the starting price for the current $799 iPhone 14. Currently, the iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, but with this price increase for the next generation, the iPhone 15 Pro could be $100 to $200 more — starting at $1,100 or $1,200.

11 features in iOS 17 that I can’t wait to use on my iPhone

ios 17 11 features i cant wait to use on my iphone mashup

Apple made a big splash at WWDC 2023 this year as it introduced the first major new product since the Apple Watch with the Vision Pro spatial computing headset. But of course, we also got software announcements for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS 14 Sonoma.

Though I feel that iOS 17 is an overall underwhelming update compared to the past few years with iOS 14 and iOS 16, there’s still a lot of interesting stuff coming. The developer beta is out now, and people have been diving into all that iOS 17 has to offer so far. And you know what? There’s plenty to talk about — including a few things Apple didn't even mention during the keynote.
