Is there any way to know what network an iPhone is connected to (LTE vs GSM)


With the release of iOS 6 and iphone 5 I'm trying to figure out how my app can know if the phone is in LTE mode vs GSM mode.

I haven't seen any updates to the Reachability API which can give whether it is connected to Wifi vs WWAN but I need to know what kind of WWAN connection it is.

Any ideas?


Solution

  • For iO6 and below, you can not do this.

    I have asked this question on the Apple developer forums, and Apple confirmed they do not yet have this functionality.

    You can file a feature request bug. I have already done this (#12375460), but the more duplicates there are the more chance it will get implemented.

    Also this is a duplicate of this question.
