However, CNET reports some good news on this front.ĪT&T is updating its list of devices that will be capable of connecting to its latest 5G midband networks. Together with C-Band, these midrange frequencies have been branded AT&T 5G Plus.ĪT&T initially indicated that this latest range would only be supported by 2022 smartphones and later, which meant that only iPhone 14 owners would get access to it among Apple’s line-up. AT&T 5G PlusĮven more frequencies were subsequently made available, with AT&T spending more than $9B in an FCC auction to get access to the 3.45GHz range. That was eventually resolved, and the mess was blamed on a mix of government bureaucracy and carrier secrecy.Įach carrier naturally chose different terminology for enhanced 5G, so we have seen 5G UC, 5G UWB, and 5G+. Speeds have been gradually increasing since the 5G rollout, but part of the expansion was delayed over fears of interference with aircraft radio altimeters close to airports. It was only later that we learned that this would be limited to mmWave 5G, which was more akin to Wi-Fi in its availability and range. In the run-up to the launch of 5G, we were promised that the new mobile data standard would offer gigabit speeds.
There’s never been a communications standard that carriers couldn’t make more complicated.
#PUBLISHER PLUS FOR MAC FULL#
The carrier had previously indicated that only 2022 devices would be able to take advantage of the full range of frequencies … Enhanced 5G services offering higher speeds aren’t yet available to many, but there’s good news for AT&T 5G Plus – the faster service will now be fully usable by the iPhone 12 and up.
