The GSM phones btw will also not be able to run Data on the LTE while using the telephony. In order to do both they will jump down to using 3g for the data and voice.
So adding the extra antenna to ALL models would have allowed for LTE data while talking on the phone for ALL carriers. but that would have effected their margin apparently more than they felt the need to add that capability.

Or it entailed other sacrifices to design and functionality that they were unwilling to accept. And I'm sure if they had added a second antenna and left out something else, you'd be whining about that, too.
Really no point in trying to please people like you. I can see why they don't bother.
