Apple has enabled 5G cellular support for new iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone SE and iPhone 12 lineups in India. In order to use a 5G connection with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel on an iPhone 12 model or any later launched models, customers will need to update to the iOS 16.2 update.
During November 2022, Apple enabled 5G in the iOS 16 Beta software programme week for select iPhone users in the country. Airtel and Jio customers who participated in iOS 16 Beta software programme of Apple India were able to try out 5G.
As India rolls out 5G in a phased manner starting with key metro cities, smartphone players are working towards making 5G available on their devices. With the recent development, the support for 5G on iPhone has now extended to over 250 carrier partners in over 70 markets around the world, with expanded support for standalone networks.
