Assuming you did them at the same time and in the same place the iPad 4 antenna might not be as sensitive as the S4, which was barely hanging onto an LTE signal as it was.
yes...but why? they are 6 inches apart from each other....
Phones probably have priority on the network, so it's possible for your iPhone to be on LTE and not the iPad even though they're right next to each other.
I see 20-40 Mbps down and 8-15 Mbps up regularly using my iPhone 5 on AT&T. That shouldn't be possible according to this throttling claim.
There's no claim that they're throttling all the time but go to where there's a big group of people together like a sporting event and I'm sure that your device will be throttled.
That is some weak sauce on the part of Apple and the carriers. If anything is grounds for a PR scandal I'd think this is, yet I think it's not likely to happen. I wonder if Apple colluded and conspired with the carriers¡ Maybe Apple did it because people complained that they'd use so much more data if the data was faster¡
Apple strongarms the carriers like no other device maker. Perhaps this is a bit of "giving back."

Yes it does....
The best result I've gotten exceeded 60 mbps with uploads around 30mbps, but those are more rare. The below is pretty normal for this area.

Look at the pictures again. The iPhone reads LTE while the iPad reads 4G.

It also shows that you're on WiFi.

i turned it on after the test...i am at home on my wifi
I had WiFi turned off for both of the screen shots.
The speeds would have been much higher if Wifi had been turned on. You can see in the screenshots that Wifi it not on...

I've seen no such cap on AT&T with my iP5.
Just don't throttle it that way.

Agreed. My iPhone 5 on LTE regularly returns numbers from 18-25Mbps in urban cities. And no, I'm not accidentally using wifi. It's very fast.
The S4 appears to have connected to a server in Pima, AZ and the iPad 4 connected to a server in Phoenix, AZ. Therefore the comparison is suspect.
