Lots of phones now have 5G but so far the iPhone doesn’t, so will the iPhone 12 change that?
Many smartphones now support 5G, including both big names likes the Samsung Galaxy S20 range and OnePlus 8 Pro, and less mainstream options like the Xiaomi Mi 10, but the iPhone 11 range doesn’t. In fact, no current iPhone supports 5G.
So you might understandably be wondering whether the iPhone 12 will be Apple’s first 5G phone, and while nothing has been confirmed just yet, we have a good idea of the answer.
Below we’ll look at the relevant iPhone 12 rumors to give you an idea of how likely 5G is in the iPhone 12, and which models are most likely to support the speedy tech.
The short answer is that the iPhone 12 (or at least some models of it) will almost certainly support 5G. Aside from the fact that an iPhone with 5G is overdue given how many rival handsets have the tech, there are also a large number of rumors pointing in that direction.
In fact, we’ve been hearing from analysts and other sources that the iPhone 12 range will offer 5G as far back as 2019.
There’s been a large number of these claims, and since those early ones we’ve more recently seen iPhone 12 mock-ups that sport relocated SIM trays to allow room for 5G antennas, plus a claim from Jon Prosser (a leaker with a generally good track record) that all four iPhone 12 models will sport 5G.
Not only that, but there are no remotely recent rumors disputing these claims.
