The launch of fifth generation data networks is fast approaching. But what exactly is 5G, when exactly can we look forward to this type of connection, what will happen with 5G smartphone models and what will the fifth generation internet actually bring us? We tried to summarize this in today's article.
On iPhones that Apple presented in previous years, you will not "catch" 5G networks:

It will live alongside 3G and 4G
The days when we connected to the Internet via mobile phones using the WAP protocol are long gone. At the moment, we can browse the network via LTE (4G) network in many places, but this will change again in the foreseeable future. A fifth generation (5G) wireless internet connection is in preparation, promising even higher speed, stability and other benefits. However, the existing networks will not be replaced immediately - 3G and 4G networks will give way to the new generation of the Internet only very slowly. However, a 5G connection can provide higher connection stability for existing networks, with older standards serving as a backup connection in cases where a 5G network is not available.
Stability and speed as if from another galaxy
With the fifth generation of wireless internet, we should see an increase in average download speeds, which could reach up to 1GB/s. The average speed of a 5G network could be up to 10Gb/s. In practice, this could mean that users could download full-length HD movies in a matter of seconds, and software downloads, updates, and installations will be faster.
IoT on the rise
5G networks should also bring a huge shift in the Internet of Things (IoT). Ordinary users will experience faster network response, better and faster playback of media files, and faster, more stable and better data transfer.b Faster and better streaming, better voice and video calls, better and stronger signal and coverage, and expanded possibilities for using Smart features should be a matter of course. Home and Smart Cities.
Pioneers behind the big puddle
The pioneer of the fifth generation Internet is primarily the United States of America, but Europe is definitely not going to be left behind. According to estimates, 2023% of all mobile connections should be connected to 5G in the US by 50, and up to 21% of connections in Europe by this time. 5 is generally considered to be the "year of 2020G networks".
Apple "sleeping", the competition is not
Not only operators, but also mobile device manufacturers are preparing for the arrival of 5G networks. iPhone with 5G tooneactivity will most likely take some time, some competitors AppHowever, they have already started working in this direction. A number of devices with support for 5G networks, as well as new generation Wi-Fi, were on display at this year's CES in Las Vegas. Current devices, designed for 4G,oneactivity, they will not be able to connect to 5G under standard conditions.
