ON my iPhone, there is no distinction between Cellular Data and LTE. If you plan to have internet connectivity when not on Wi-Fi, you have to have cellular data turned on. Your phone will take whichever signal is stronger. Some phone services allow wi-fi calling too.
So, if you are at home with a solid Wi-Fi connection, your phone won't use cellular data when surfing the internet, getting email, streaming audio or video, etc. If you are in your backyard, and your Wi-Fi signal gets weak, but you have cellular on with a good signal, it will switch to using cellular data. Which of course, uses data, but not necessarily more battery. The switching back and forth uses more battery. So, if you know you have good Wi-Fi, by all means, turn off cellular data so the phone isn't seeking the best connection and that will save battery because it isn't looking for the strongest signal. But, as soon as you get out of wi-fi range, your streaming/phone call/ etc., will stop. I am more picky about this so I go into the Cellular settings and turn it off for all the apps I don't want eating my limited cellular data without my knowledge. That way I don't have to remember to turn on cellular data when we go somewhere and want to use GPS, etc. HTH, Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it." - Jane Wagner My Web site: https://www.turner42.com From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Casey Wollner Sent: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 2:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: A question about LTE on our iPhones Hi I know it maybe personal choice. But on our iPhones do you have to have LTE on for voice and data and does it really improve things or just use up mor battery and what about the rooming future? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
