Why HTC M8 for windows only support band 4&13?

[frank zhao]

Don't know why HTC only support band 4&13, but same Verizon, iPhone 6 support all bands, Why?
That relation with Verizon or HTC?

It actually supports 3, 4, 7, and 13. Verizon's site only mentions 4 and 13 and doesn't want you to know about the other two because I'm sure they would prefer you activate it on their network.

Good~ please kindly post that~
Btw, refer to band, whether that is radio driver? Or driver is ok, but only lock by Verizon?
Whether have way to let Verizon M8 support other bands? e.g Band 1?

It supports bands 3, 4, 7, and 13. No more and no less. The bands supported can not be changed, it is specific to the hardware in the phone.

Because apple built it that way.

Apple built one iPhone for all the US carriers, didn't they? There's just the US and the international versions available right now if I'm not mistaken. VZW only uses 4 and 13... The worse news is that T-Mobile only has a minimal overlap in those frequencies, so it wont work really well on that network.
