Ah, but it wouldn't be a consumers choice would it? With the other phone manufacturers you will get 3G and 4G phones from the same mfg on basically the same hardware (one with a 4G radio and one without.) With Apple, it's what's new or nothing. So, were they to release a 4G iPhone with less battery life but crazy fast speeds you would either have to get the phone that will die fast or the old phone with the old hardware. Not really a choice when you're looking to upgrade.

Since Apple is all about the overall experience I don't see a 4G iPhone until they can get both speed and battery life together without sacrificing design ( putting a 4G chip in on current tech would make for a fatter phone.) This would lead to market fragmentation in the Apple market which there really has never been. So, no 4G is actually a good thing...for now.
