The arrival of high-speed 5G networks is fast approaching, with which even individual smartphone manufacturers are slowly starting to calculate. Of course, 5G support requires special hardware modifications, which they must impose on their smartphones. According to all available information, this year's iPhones will not come with 5G support yet, but they should next year Apple to allow users of new iPhones to receive this news. But that will probably cost him a lot of money.

The Apple company must prepare to pay a number of license fees that will be demanded from it by both network technology suppliers and modem manufacturers. Of course, fees will then be charged for each phone that comes with 5G support, which in practice means that the net profit from each smartphone sold could be reduced in some way. But of course, this would only happen on the assumption that the novelty would be more expensive than the 4G network, which apparently it shouldn't be.
Neither the cheapest LCD model (pictured) nor the premium series with OLED displays will likely receive 5G support:
Companies interested in 5G networks set their own fees. For example, Nokia, a network solution provider, charges a fee for each smartphone.one using its solution will charge 3 Euros regardless of the price of the device. On the other hand, Erocsson will take this into account, charging 2,5 to 5 dollars per phone, depending on the price of the smartphone. Of course, these companies are not the only ones involved in 5G networks and own patents for the networks. Qualcomm will also want to make a good profit on 5G networks. The fee will be determined as a percentage of the price of the smartphone, which could be a good thing for Apple quite a problem. As its phones are generally expensive, the license fees can be quite high. A similar tactic can be expected from Huawei, which has not yet announced how it will charge fees.

Overall, it will be very interesting to watch the growth of 5G networks around the world. But if everything goes according to plan, we could harvest the first fruits quite soon.
Around 2023, approximately 21% percent of mobile connections should already run on this system.
So there's plenty of time, I reckon that by then I'll definitely have another 2 subsequent iPhones, it's not worth solving now!
Pro Apple this is probably the smallest complication of all manufacturers - they will simply make iPhones more expensive by a few thousand Apple the sheep will pay for it anyway... What are they doing?
That's right, I'll be happy to pay for it.
If you want to pay 35 for a mobile phone that can be bought from a competitor for 000... Your money :)
Someone here has a new Dacia Sandero :-D
