Apple iPhone users in India could soon be able to enjoy 5G services. Airtel's Chief Technology Officer Randeep Sekhon has reportedly confirmed that Airtel customers with iPhone models will be able to use its 5G networks soon. The Cupertino-based giant is conducting 5G tests in the country and Airtel has reportedly set up networks for the company. The 5G telecom services were launched in India last week during the India Mobile Congress in Delhi. Airtel's 5G services are currently available in eight cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi, and Bangalore.
As per a report by Indian Express, Apple is currently testing 5G services in India. Randeep Sekhon, Chief Technology Officer of Airtel, reportedly said that iPhone users in the country would soon be able to access Airtel's 5G networks. The report quotes Sekhon as saying “Apple is currently testing 5G in India; we have set up special networks for them to test”.
Sekhon reportedly said that Airtel won't be sending an over-the-air (OTA) update to make 5G work on smartphones. Instead, the mobile handset manufacturer needs to push out a software update to enable 5G, the report added.
