When apple showed it off they said it is just as fast as 4g but they don't want to call it that.
 
technically speaking, up untill late 2010, anything that was '4G' today was called 3G.

so in marketing, no. 4G is a seperately marketed system.

in reality, though, 4G networks are just a (very slightly) newer version of the same 3G networks.
 
Actually the iphone 4 and 4s is only 3G data internet. The iphone 5 is the only iphone that works on 4G data internet. However Virgin Mobile does not have the iphone 5.
