IMO LTE isn't that big of a deal. Fast is ok, but getting hosed by the carriers for the privilege of using it is not so ok.
If I were Apple, I would be focusing on diversifying the carrier portfolios to gain leverage over the vendors for a good data plan. If Sprint is willing to provide an acceptable LTE plan, give them exclusivity, and to hell with VZ and AT&T.
