5G In iPhone: iPhone Users Will Be 5G In Two Months, Will Get Software Update Soon
New Delhi: iPhones are yet to get 5G connectivity, even though Apple iPhones support the cellular option. Airtel said its 5G network will be rolled out to compatible iPhones once Apple updates the software. Apple has reportedly offered a timeline and said that the OTA (over-the-air) update will begin in December 2022. Till then, Airtel 5G may expand to other circles as well, to say that Airtel has 5G in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Siliguri, Nagpur, and Varanasi, which it calls 5G Plus. The company started rolling it out.
Media reports have revealed that Apple is working with its carrier partners in India to bring the best 5G experience to iPhone users as soon as network verification and testing for quality and performance are completed. The software update will start rolling out to iPhone users in December.
Phones after iPhone 12 will get 5G connectivity
Apple introduced 5G connectivity on the iPhone 12 and above. Airtel and Jio are currently testing 5G services in select cities in India. Jio has not officially clarified whether the iPhones need to push the update to support its 5G services.
Meeting for 5G Rollout in India
The Department of Telecommunications under the Ministry of Communications has issued a memo inviting 30 participants. In this meeting, the government will ask participants, including phone makers, chip makers, electronics manufacturing service providers, and several industry associations, for updates related to the 5G rollout in India. It can be assumed that the government has also invited Apple to the meeting to get updates about the 5G connection on the iPhone.
