The most recently announced Apple iPhone 6S, 6S Plus and new Google Nexus devices all now support Category (Cat) 6 LTE with Carrier Aggregation (CA). However, one of the biggest weak points of current 4G LTE technology is no longer in the download speeds, but rather the upload speeds. This is because of the mountain of user generated content that is being created on phones. The content created by users is now in extremely high resolutions exceeding 10 Megapixels and going as high as 20 Megapixels. This, combined with the increased usage of video and blanket 4K video capability means that users’ devices are no longer uploading content quickly enough and as a result are burning through battery to try to upload something.
