A study of 3,000 folks surveyed by the Piper Jaffray research group — and as reported by “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com) — indicates that, though the next iPhone is expected to have high-speed 4G long-term evolution connectivity, nearly half of American consumers feel they don’t need 4G LTE.

The survey found that 47% of consumers feel they don’t need 4G LTE, and another 26% indicated they feel all 4G network technologies are the same. Just 15% of those polled said that 4G LTE is the best network technology.
