Why doesn't my iPhone show the 4G symbol but it shows the LTE symbol?

I have Verizon as a carrier, and I just aksed this question but didn't ask it right. YES I HAVE 4G LTE. I've had the phone for 2 months and have been many places with it. It only shows the circle, 3G, and the LTE symbol, but not 4G or the Edge symbol. If anyone knows why, please let me know.

That's because iPhone 4G or iPhone 4S is not a 4G phone, it's a 3G phone. It just shows LTE after the firmware update just to show you that it has that capability although it's not true. They don't have 4G chip so there's no way it can get 4G.
