Jio and Airtel officially started rolling out 5G in India in select cities last month and while most of the phones were eligible, iPhones didn’t and required an update for users to start using 5G. After some criticism and pressure from the government, Apple confirmed that the 5G update will be out in December and now, it is expected to start testing the same next week.

Apple has confirmed (via Economic Times) that it will add support for 5G as part of the iOS 16.2 beta in India next week. The company is also planning to meet members of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology MeitY) to update them on the rollout.

For those who don’t know, Samsung is also expected to release the 5G update in December. Even Motorola will release one, starting this month, following the government’s push to enable 5G support on phones as soon as possible. Most Android phones already supported 5G once it went live in India last month.
