Indeed.

I doubt that very many people would be "surprised" or "shocked" about 4G on the iPhone 5.

As mentioned earlier, it has been *widely* reported as only having 4G LTE compatibility with EE in the UK. It's not just the tech sites that have had stories on this, even the BBC and other mainstream media have done so too.

Also, O2, Vodafone, and Three have made no mention of the iPhone 5 being 4G or LTE compatible. They simply mention e.g. "super-fast wireless" and HSPA+ etc.

T-Mobile, Orange, and EE have advertised the iPhone 5 as being 4G LTE compatible, and specifically said that it would require 4G coverage with EE, and a 4G tariff with EE, once EE launches later in the year.
