Will the IPhone 4S have 4GLTE after IOS update?

Okay so I have an iPhone 4S for Verizon. It only works on 3G not a 4G capble phone. But the new IOS 6.0 update in a week will supposedly add 200 or so new features and be a free download. Once I update my IPhone 4S to IOS 6.0 will the phone be 4G capable? Or do I have to buy the IPhone 5. I'm not sure if the new IPhone 5 itself is what carries 4G capabilities or if the new IOS 6 upgrade is what makes the phone 4G capable. Thanks!

Added (1). Thanks for the quick answers! Google search brought up nothing but here question answered in minutes thanks!

No… It is something out the ios… There will be just on iphone 5

4G is a hardware item when it comes to phone. The phone needs to have a 4G receiver built in. The 4S does not. You will need to buy the 5 inorder to access 4G.

  • Music won't go back onto IPhone after iOS 6 update? Please help! So I have an IPhone 3gs and I just updated iOS 6. My music is still on my itunes in my laptop, but when I go to my iphone tab it says there's no data, and it won't let me hit the sync button and it's not telling me why. I tried restarting my computer and that didn't work. I hit restore but I'm afraid to do it since it says it will erase everything on your phone.
