Android has already taken advantage of this technology but Apple has been holding off until it is perfected so it can connect its smartphone to these networks by using a more compact antenna.

One thing is for certain, smartphone producers such as Motorola and Samsung who create handsets for Android OS are leaps and bounds ahead of Apple at this point in terms of hardware.
