LTE equipment being installed in Apple stores, a sign of things to come ?

Engadget reports that LTE equipment has been installed in one of the biggest Apple Stores by AT&T. This news comes hot on the heels of a report that an LTE enabled iPhone is undergoing carrier testing.

The equipment is compatible with the AWS and 700Mhz bands which AT&T will be using on completing the T-Mobile acquisition. Staffing has also been increased by up to 30 percent in a large number of stores. While it doesn’t directly point to an LTE iPhone , the timing does sound rather coincidental. Would you expect the next generation iPhone to come with LTE ?
