Only in the U.S. will you find Apple selling iPhone 16 models with support for 5G mmW and no SIM tray.
Apple iPhone 16 users in the U.S. don’t know how good they have it. The units shipped in the States are the only ones that support the fastest 5G mmWave signals and feature eSIM-only technology. Finding 5G mmWave service is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are three bands of 5G service starting with the low band 5G that travels great distances but is not as fast as the other bands. Because these signals do travel far, they are often used for nationwide 5G service.
5G mmWave signals can travel only short distances but they deliver the fastest wireless speeds reaching 1Gbps and can potentially peak at 3Gbps. However, due to mmWave’s inability to cover large chunks of ground, the use of the technology is usually limited to major cities like New York even though mmWave signals often cannot penetrate buildings.
