Can your iPhone get the fastest wireless data speeds? Here\u2019s a list.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_5G\"><\/span>What Is 5G?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>5G is an industry catchall term for a suite of 5th-generation wireless technologies that allow mobile devices to theoretically operate at much higher data transfer speeds on cellular phone networks than the previous 4G LTE standard. 5G has at times been received skeptically by the tech press, however, due to an uneven rollout and heady promises that have <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/what-holding-back-5g-rollout-11647144776\">not always been<\/a> fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>Still, an iPhone that supports 5G can potentially download data from the internet at much higher rates if your local cell towers support 5G. There are exceptions and caveats, of course, including how close you are to a 5G-enabled cell tower and how many obstructions are located between your iPhone and the tower\u2014metal roofs, thick walls, or hills, for example.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_iPhone_Models_Support_5G\"><\/span>Which iPhone Models Support 5G?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of April 2022, nine models of iPhone support true 5G cellular connections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPhone 12*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 mini*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro Max*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 mini*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro Max*<\/li>\n<li>iPhone SE (3rd Generation, 2022)**<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>* Currently only the U.S. models of the iPhone 12 and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2021\/09\/14\/iphone-13-mmwave-5g-remains-us-only\/\">iPhone 13<\/a> families support millimeter wave (\u201cmmWave\u201d) 5G <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, which allows the fastest wireless data speeds. See note below as well.<\/p>\n<p>**The iPhone SE (3rd Generation) does not support millimeter-wave 5G at all. As noted in our review of the SE, it\u2019s not a huge loss because mmWave speed <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22968066\/apple-iphone-se-5g-mmwave-verizon-uw\">isn\u2019t realistic<\/a> in many real-world scenarios. It only works if you\u2019re very near a 5G cell tower with few objects in between that can interfere with the signal.<\/p>\n<p>If your iPhone is too old and doesn\u2019t include 5G hardware, you\u2019ll need to buy a new iPhone that supports 5G to get it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_%E2%80%9C5GE%E2%80%9D_on_Earlier_iPhones\"><\/span>What About \u201c5GE\u201d on Earlier iPhones?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an older-model iPhone than those listed above (such as the iPhone XS or iPhone 11) connected to the AT&amp;T mobile network, you might notice a \u201c5GE\u201d in the upper corner of your screen. Previously, you would have seen \u201cLTE\u201d in the same place. This change <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/guide\/5ge\/\">happened<\/a> with the iOS 12.2 update in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, seeing \u201c5GE\u201d on your iPhone does not mean your older iPhone can get 5G speeds. It is a marketing move by AT&amp;T, attempting to rebrand existing 4G LTE technology so it doesn\u2019t look like its mobile data services are falling behind its competitors. iPhone 11 and earlier phones do not physically include the hardware needed to connect to true 5G networks, so there is no potential for a future upgrade to 5G through software updates. You\u2019ll need to purchase an iPhone 12 or later to take advantage of 5G speeds.
