Apple plans to wait until at least 2020 to release a 5G compatible iPhone, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The delay could give rivals like Samsung an edge as carriers introduce their 5G networks next year.Notably, Apple also waited a while before introducing iPhones with support for 3G and 4G networks.
Apple’s previous calculations -- proven correct -- were that the new networks and the first versions of rival smartphones would come with problems such as spotty coverage, making consumers less compelled to immediately make the jump. This time, 5G boosters argue the switch is a much bigger speed upgrade, making Apple’s decision to wait riskier. The networks will open the floodgates to new types of mobile computing, 5G advocates say.
