iPhone users in India will have to wait for more than 2 months to use 5G
iPhones are yet to get 5G connectivity, even though Apple smartphones support the cellular option. Airtel said that its 5G network would come to compatible iPhones once Apple updates the software. In a statement to The Economic Times, Apple said, "We are working with our carrier partners in India to bring the best 5G experience to iPhone users as soon as network validation and testing for quality and performance is completed. In the meeting, the government will ask participants, which include phone makers, chip makers, electronics manufacturing service providers and many industry associations, for updates related to the 5G rollout in India. Days after officially launching 5G in India, Airtel updated its website revealing a list of smartphones awaiting a software update to support its 5G services.
