How is 4G iPad & iPhone Internet Faster Than 3G for Cellular Data Transfer Speeds? - Sylvan - 06-22-2014 06:58 PM

3G on iPad/iPhone supports data communications in the range of 20MB/s. The latest iPhone has Dual Carrier HSDPA which seamlessly combines multiple 3G connections into a single, high quality data stream.
While 4G supports speeds in the ballpark of 65MB/s, the difference between 3G and 4G isn't that noticeable while surfing the internet, checking emails, using apps or watching videos on your iPad or iPhone.
BUT you will notice how much more faster and stable 4G is (compared to 3G) when you use iCloud and file sharing services like Dropbox. That's where the extra bandwidth and stability of a 4G cellular data connection becomes particularly useful.
Another area is iPad security. Faster MBPS & extra bandwidth helps ping secure servers fluidly (even those outside your own country) while maintaining high data transfer speeds. This is great for iPad & iPhone web security on the move.
