iOS 5.1 Makes the iPhone 4S on AT&T a Big Liar ⇥

A number of people noticed that the iOS 5.1 update indicates “4G” in the status bar when connected to AT&T’s HSPA+ network. This is disingenuous at best, especially as “real” 4G just arrived today in the iPad. This only applies to AT&T, as far as I can tell—my iPhone 4S does not display a 4G icon when connected to Telus’ HSPA+ network.

Or, as Dave Bug says:

AT&T switching their iPhone status icon to 4G from 3G is the biggest performance improvement since they changed the size of the signal bars.
