Some of the leaked AT&T documents from the last of LulzSec’s hacking endeavors ended up revealing information about a potential “4G” LTE-ready iPad 3 and iPhone 5. Despite closing down all hacking activity just yesterday, the group of six anonymous hackers who go by the name of LulzSec are still around in the news. The last torrent they uploaded was full of confidential (and poorly secured) data from the likes of AOL, different gaming forums, EA Games’ Battlefield Heroes’ user database, and of course, AT&T. The leaked documents reveal all sorts of plans, timelines, milestones, related to AT&T’s rollout of the “4G” LTE network. Nearly all of the information contained within the documents uses highly-technical terms that is meant to be understood by telecommunications engineers only. However, there is one choice morsel that everyone would be ecstatic to hear about: hints of an LTE-ready iPad. The information was reported originally by Jonathan Kizer over at iFans, who dug through the files released by LulzSec. Among the released documents is one slide stating the following informaton: Pre-LTE scenarios: Testing will include iPad new activations HLS using the new rate plan, as well as a regression on netbooks and dongles. During validation E2E execution should ensure all functionality new and current is still functioning properly by validating account set up, provision, usage and notifications. The LTE-ready iPad, is probably the iPad 3 which is expected to be released next year with a higher resolution Retina Display, a faster processor, and according to the leaked documents at least, 4G LTE connectivity. A page inside the leaked documents also supports the rumors surrounding an iPhone 5 release in September. The documents clearly state that there will be three phases to LTE network deployment: with a potential of an LTE-ready  iPhone 5 releasing in Phase 2 (rumored to be near the September launch). iPad 3 Concept Design – Credit to Roman Sima A calendar titled 2011 Weekly Calendar – LTE Milestone points towards a July 2011 production launch of the LTE network. This is in exact accordance to a press statement that AT&T released in May, regarding a mid summer launch of LTE in five major markets including: Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
