Perhaps the 5G technology is what most preoccupies the technical community today, especially with regard to smartphones. This is where large telecommunications companies in the United States or even European countries have provided support for these fast networks, along with Arab countries such as the UAE and this in itself pushed the manufacturers of phones. Smartphones, including Samsung and Huawei, launch phones that support the new technology, but Apple did not! Why? And when do we expect an iPhone that supports the 5G from Apple?


5G technology from our perspective and from Apple's perspective

A short time ago, perhaps a year or two, talking about 5G was considered to be a new technology that is difficult to implement, but now we have completely passed this stage and the technology has already become available, whether from companies or phones, but this does not eliminate the fact that 5G is a technology that is "arguable" where it can be For any person to convince something else that it is not important at all, while another person may convince you that it is very important ... and it seems that Apple is the first person.

Apple seeks to provide effective and usable features from all users. This is unlike Android, which allows you to obtain hundreds of features and uses that a quarter of users may not need even and this is a tangible reality. Therefore, Apple does not want to add the 5G in its phones because simply not everyone will be able to benefit Of which!

Apple did not mention the 5G networks at all at the iPhone 11 launch event, but Tim Cook did earlier, saying:

"The 5G is not good enough to be added to the iPhone."

And here we will not be able to prove Cook's error, because his words are based on the basis of the first, and secondly because this topic is a topic of "probable argument"!

5G networks are really great and they offer incredible upload and download speeds as well as perfect Latency and Ping levels, but they are simply not everywhere, what benefit from 5G if you can not use it only at the bus stop or commercial malls! Apple - and I too - think that if you spent more than $ 1500 on buying an iPhone that supports the fifth generation, your simplest right is to have a fifth generation connection everywhere, at least in your home and workplace.

This is in relation to Apple's perspective, as the company, whether it stated directly or not, sees that the technology is unnecessary in the iPhone this year because it is a technology that still needs a great development, this while we are in the iPhone - Islam, especially (Tariq Mansour: Founder of iPhone IslamWe think that the 5G will make our world a better and more effective place, or at least our virtual world, because the huge speeds it provides and the communication protocols in general will allow cloud computing to continue to grow and develop. Perhaps the simplest example of this is cloud play such as Google Stadia, which allows you Playing without any powerful hardware .. you just need a fast and stable internet.


Apple is usually late ... and may even get old sometimes

“Apple is always late in providing any new service or technology in its devices as long as it is unable to develop and produce it on its own inside its factories,” Nil Shah (Adapted). This is what was mentioned by one of the employees at Counterpoint Research, and I already think that he is right, and I may even add to him that Apple is generally late, whether it is related to the manufacturer or not, also what was said in this regard is that Apple has failed to provide reliable 5G technology Based on Intel modems, which are the ones that have acquired it very soon.

Most of the phones that support the 5G at the present time are phones that work with the Snapdragon X50 modem, and most of the time these phones work with Snapdragon processors as well, and as we know there are many old problems between Qualcomm and Apple, which are the problems that prompted Apple - in a way - to buy the modem sector in Intel! In other words, Apple is now "between two fires" as it is unable to provide reliable 5G using Intel technologies and is unable to effectively cooperate with Qualcomm! Therefore, my personal expectation is that the 5G will not appear on the iPhone until after it appears in the Intel sector owned by Apple.


What is the situation now? What do we expect?

A rumor that has been circulating in recent months is that the iPhone 12 will come with support for 5G, a screen without a notch, and also support a frequency of 120Hz for the screen and it may be able to cook food and wash clothes as well, but we really do not know what will happen and you are now waiting for an answer to a question Very important: When will we see an iPhone with 5G?

We can answer this question with: We will see the iPhone 5G when the technology has actually spread in a way that ensures its stable operation and also when Apple solves its manufacturing problems, this is also when Apple solves another big problem, which is the difference in 5G standards among a number of countries, on For example, the United States uses the Millimeter-Wave standard to operate the 5G, which is based on short-range waves but with excellent speed, while the United Kingdom uses another technology that relies on longer waves, which is a technology similar to 4G.

What we want to say is that Apple must develop a modem that supports technologies as is the case in the aforementioned Qualcomm modem, which is difficult, and even more difficult than at any other time, especially since the desired Intel sector is already suffering with the 5G!
