That's the optimistic scenario - it may even take until 2023.

            MG, 11 Oct 2019The whole 5G is a hoax, it will take many years until there... moreApple would be a laughing stock if its iPhones don't have 5G in 2020, to put it another way.
            Think about Apple trying to push out its 2020 iPhones that are still stuck with 4G.


              That's the Apple we know. What a bankruptcy way of thinking. This firm is a comedy.

                  Manchito, 11 Oct 2019In 2022 will be 6G. Apple always late, but not in price5G will be commercially available by then, but not 6G. That's too fast.

                    MG, 11 Oct 2019The whole 5G is a hoax, it will take many years until there... moreSo those who are planning on keeping their iPhone 11 for 5 years to come are not future proof.

                      And slower than those modems from Qualcomm in cheaper phones due to the tech patents, phones that will cost half of what Apple will ask. Typical. But it doesn't matter if it'll be in 2023 or 2040 as Apple sheeps only care about watch the logo in their hands even if it's on a brick, they'll have excuses forever.

Why load a currently power consumption chip when it will sit around useless?

                            2022 ?
                            2019 already have 5g networks and phones
                            so they will be only 3 full years (sorry 3 and a half since new apple come late september start october so 2022 setptember/october 1st iphone 5g ?)
                            meh

                              One correction, the current modem supplier to Apple is Apple (Intel, which Apple bought that part of the business). Apple will not start to use Qualcomm modems until next year for 5G according to reports.
