AT&T has begun replacing its existing micro-SIMs with a new card capable of connecting to its LTE network. While you won’t need to replace the micro-SIM you’ve already got in your iPhone, you may need one for your iPad 3 next month.
However, it has sparked speculation the carrier is preparing itself for the launch of an LTE-equipped iPad 3. Apple’s third-generation tablet is rumored to be the first of its devices to get super-speedy 4G data, with leaked shots of its internal specifications seemingly confirming the feature earlier this month.
Furthermore, iPad 3 parts sent in to Cult of Mac prove the device’s antenna with be significantly different to that of the iPad 2, indicating a change to its connectivity options.
But then there’s also a possibility those LTE-capable micro-SIMs are simply for the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900.
