With Apple will unveil its first 5G iPhone next Tuesday, in the U.S. Customers will make a big decision about changing carriers after purchasing one of the new models. This is because there are two different types of 5G signals. The Sub-6GHz 5G is delivered on low and mid frequency bands, travels long distances and penetrates structures. The point of the Sub-6GHz is that it does not produce the glowing fast download data speeds that many consumers are looking forward to. It is available with high-frequency bands MMWave speed. Unfortunately, MMWAV airwaves do not travel long distances or they easily enter buildings.
Rural Americans will have to change carriers to receive 5G service
According to New Street research, Verizon has the fastest 5G data speeds in the states for focusing on MMWave signals. The average 5G data speed of the new Street Verizon is estimated at 500 Mbps. But thanks to MMWay’s small step, Verizon’s fastest 5G coverage in the states is available in only 36 cities (.5% of the country). Elsewhere, T-Mobile can deliver 300 Mbps 5G to about 33% of the U.S., with speeds ranging from 50 to 60 Mbps. And the research firm says that AT&T can deliver 60 Mbps 5G speeds across the country.
Some U.S. Mobile customers may need to switch carriers to receive 5G service
We are in the early days of 5G in the states, and eventually all three major carriers will use some combination of low, mid-band and high-band signals to give users the 5G experience they are hoping for. Thanks to the 2.5GHz mid-band spectrum it achieved in Sprint transactions, Many analysts see T-Mobile eventually becoming the 5G speed king of the US New Street, saying, “It will take years for AT&T and Verizon to close the gap of network performance with T-Mobile. At least two years, and maybe wireless. It’s a long time, in wireless ground.
At this point, we don’t know for sure which iPhone 12 models, if any, will be compatible with MMWave 5G. Apple Pal might limit MMwave support to the top-line iPhone 12 Pro Max. U.S. May force those who want 5G service in rural areas to switch their account to T-Mobile. The above 2.5GHz spectrum T-Mobile, taken from Sprint, is widely used by rural Americans and both AT&T and Verizon are not equipped to bring 5G to this part of the country.
Apple’sThe “Hi, Speed” virtual event will begin on October 13th at 1pm EDT (10am PDT). Four 5G iPhone 12 models are expected to be released, including the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini, the 6.1-inch iPhone 12, the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. All four models will be powered by a 5nm A14 bionic chipset and while the basic iPhone models will have 4GB of memory, the “Pro” models will have 6GB of RAM. The “Pro” models will also have three cameras at the rear with Leader Time-Li-Flight depth sensor.
According to a teaser that posted the information on Weibo, the two models of the iPhone, paired with a 6.1-inch screen, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro, will come for pre-order on October 16 with a release date of October 23.

It will be interesting to see if US customers switch to their wireless providers to align themselves with faster or more reliable 5G service. To repeat, those who live in rural America have to subscribe To receive T-Mobile 5G service.
