First of all, there is 2G (or EDGE), 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE.

Many people just call 4G LTE 4G because regular 4G seems more like 3.5G. Keeping up?

AT&T's 3G network is known as HSPA and their regular 4G network is known as HSPA+. Because the iPhone 4S supports HSPA+ but not LTE, it is a 4G phone, but not a 4G LTE (real 4G) phone.

Luckily all this confusion is over now that the iPhone 5 supports LTE.
