They'd need to modify the radio/antenna to do that like some of the competitions phones are (SVDO).
Although I'd love to see this happen I can almost assure you we won't see it. CDMA is just too small worldwide to make an entirely new iPhone for it.
I doubt it on the 5S.
Would make sense to do the whole redesign of the antenna system on the next major iphone release like the iphone 6 next year.
iPhone 4 and 4S antenna systems were completely different. iPhone 4S, apple introduced a dual antenna design that the 4 didn't have
If this CEO actually uses his head, the same can be accomplished with the 5S

This feature alone would be enough of a push to get the high end new iPhone. I'm constantly on my phone and constantly waiting for emails. Its annoying to say "let me call you back in a minute I need to check my email".
I would switch to a GSM carrier but its a phone supplied by my employer so it is what it is.
I used to use a tablet and a wifi hotspot while in my company vehicle and that worked ok but its a bit of a hassle.
Either I or one of my bosses would have shot me in the face by now if I had to put up with that.
Yeah this was one of the reasons I switched from Verizon to Tmobile.
It's defineately possible, they just need to change the antenna design. They changed it in the 4-4S so why not the 5-5S. LTE networks I the U.S have become significantly more widespread so I think its likely.
Its not going to matter in a couple years when everything is VoLTE
the iPhone will be able to do it once Verizon releases Voice over LTE (VoLTE or VoIPLTE)
LTE advanced are just higher LTE Speeds
