When did 4G launch in the US?

4G was first introduced to the UK in 2012 , with EE rolling out its 4G services to 11 major cities including London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow and Southampton.

The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010, but the 4G applications that changed our world didn’t appear until later. Snapchat came in 2012, and Uber became widespread in 2013. Video calls over LTE networks also became big in the US around 2013 .

Fourth generation (4G) mobile communication technology succeeded 3G. It first launched commercially in late 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway (here). In the U.S., 36 cities had 4G capacity via Sprint mobile carrier as of April 2010 .7 Nis 2020
