5G services are now available in India, with Airtel and Jio launching them in select cities. Although 5G promises 10x faster speed than a 4G network, most brands have yet to offer network support on their devices in India, with the exception of Apple, which has been working with network providers to test the 5G network performance on various iPhone models in India.
Apple’s older iPhone models, up to and including the iPhone 12 series, are 5G network compatible in India. And a new Apple update will soon enable 5G on all of these devices.
So, Apple merely needs to issue an iOS 16 update to enable 5G for its iPhone models in India. And that’s exactly what Apple is doing now, with the roll out of the iOS 16.2 beta version, which should become a public release by next month. How can one tell if their iPhone model is compatible with India’s 5G networks and how does one enable it?
Here is all the information.

iPhone 5G Support in India: How To Use 5G On iPhone
As previously mentioned, Apple has released the iOS 16.2 beta, which includes a variety of new features, but iPhone users in India now have network compatibility for 5G. In December, Apple has announced that all of its iPhones sold in India will support local 5G bands. So, if you want to try out the beta version and have a compatible 5G-enabled iPhone, here’s how it operates:
– Go to beta.apple.com/profile website on the iPhone
– Download and install the package offered by Apple
– Go to Settings on your iPhone
– Enable the beta settings in General – VPN and Device Management, and tap on iOS 16 beta
– Head back to Settings – General – Software update to get iOS 16.2 beta for your iPhone model
– Your iPhone is now running on the beta version
– Now, go to Settings on your iPhone again
– Click on Mobile Data – Mobile Data option
– Now tap on Voice and Data where you will see 4G/5G/Auto option
– Select the feature so that you can use 4G or 5G networks wherever they are available
