Apple Appears to be Getting Ready for HD Voice-over-LTE Support in Future iPhones

It seems that Apple is gearing up for the deployment of the high-definition voice-over-LTE support in future mobile products, as a new set of job listings suggests. In plain English VoLTE means that we'll be able to enjoy higher quality calls on new iPhones.

The job listings seek both a Cellular Systems Protocol Engineer with hands-on experience in wireless technologies including VoLTE and an iOS Wireless Communication Software Engineer with “SIP, RTP, and VoIP related protocols”. Previously, 9to5Mac reported that Apple is targeting voice-over-LTE support for iOS 8 and future iPhone models.

With the launch of the iPhone 5s, data has been handled over the latest generation LTE networks, but voice calls have still relied on using older 3G networks for handling calls. Let's hope that Apple will soon enably support for VoLTE and we will all experience an increased call quality.
