3G technology first appeared in the late 2s and ushered in a new era of Internet connectivity on the go. It paved the way for phones like the iPhones, and it also changed the way we use these phones. It was limited to sending text messages and calls, and it became possible to surf the Internet, listen to music and watch video clips, all thanks to the speeds of 4 Mbps only. Then XNUMXG was replaced by XNUMXG and now 5GAnd with the expansion of 5G technology, telecom companies are now phasing out 3G networks, so what is the effect of that on the chip that still depends on it?
The three wireless carriers in the United States have announced dates to end the 3G network, and have already begun to shut down. T-Mobile has been the fastest on this, as it has already shut down service for older phones, some of which are still running on 3G.
But Verizon and AT&T have announced specific dates to shut down 3G networks, giving customers ample time to switch to the newer 4G or 5G phones.
Some telecom companies have announced offers to encourage users to buy a new phone that supports modern communication technologies.
The effect of shutting down 3G networks
Many simple people are still carrying simple 3G phones, and if the service is suddenly stopped, they will be stranded and bad consequences may happen. It is estimated that nine percent of customers have a 3G phone and may be affected by any of these shutdowns.
Most of these simple people live in rural and remote areas, which still have connections with only the third generation technology as well as the fourth generation. And if this is done in this quick way, it will probably be a bit messy, first in terms of the terrible electronic waste that will occur as a result of this, and there may be a crowd and an increase in demand that is not good for the results of devices that support advanced communication technologies.
It is worth noting that Apple began supporting 4G networks as of the iPhone 5, meaning that this decision means the end of the work of all antique phones from the second version to the iPhone 4s.

Thank you for the effort  
I think that they leave the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth generation, and everyone chooses what suits him. They do not force anyone to do anything if they respect the minds of people in the first place. Oh God, you do not have our command for anyone but you
What do we use in Syria who knows
I do not know if there is a XNUMXG in Syria at all
About myself, I often use 2G and 3G networks because of the weakness of the third and fourth generation networks in the place I am.
In many places, there is no 2G coverage in the first place
This is about Jordan and I think the situation is similar in other Arab countries.
The situation is different from us, the towers of the communication companies must be switched first
G4 / This service sometimes appears instead of G3
Is there a problem ??
IPhone 4, what was the 4G network support?
Oh phone Islam, the Hijri date in the widget, you have a mistake written in it today is Rajab 3, and the correct one is Rajab 2, may God reward you well .. The modification feature must be added to the user. Thank you.
We have in Arab countries still companies that depend on the second generation, such as about Yemen. There is only one company operating on a system that does not depend on the third generation. Haha, I mean, the company is supposed to change, not mobile phones
Question:
If the area I live in is only 3g, will the signal go off completely, and if I am in flight mode?
No, you will still see the 3G icon, but there will be no internet connection on your device. Regarding the network towers for calls, nothing will happen to them. You will still be able to make calls through your SIM card balance, but without access to the internet on cellular data 3G or less
Does iPhone 11 support 5G coverage ?????
No, just XNUMX
The new iPhone has 3G
Wonderful article, thank you Yvonne Islam's family for your wonderful artistic taste. There is nothing left and nothing but you cover it.
I expect that this will be very chaotic because most of the old phones work on the third generation and with the removal of the third generation, the most modern phones will be from now, but with the waste, there will be disasters because of it
Why don't they fill it? What is the problem? Does he have a regular XNUMX-G who is served by a governor who has XNUMXG Z and the same thing as the Five G?
I expect this is because of the old phones.
Because every network has an operational cost, and telecommunications companies saw that a small percentage use the XNUMXG network, so they said that they block it and save the value of the operational cost.
Indeed, this matter will cause a big problem in most under-developed countries and in slums where there is 3G coverage and 2g networks are still available in our world.
I am an STC customer in Saudi Arabia and I use an iPhone X and to this day, from time to time, the 3G network appears while driving on the roads. I have no objection to dispensing with the XNUMXG network, but what is important to me is that my coverage and service are not affected, especially when traveling on the highways, meaning that I do not find myself without internet service suddenly just because the company decided to dispense with the XNUMXG, and it will not be acceptable to make the excuse that the XNUMXG has a shorter range and therefore the highways will not have the same current coverage.
In Saudi Arabia, stc covered a huge job in 4G coverage, covered villages with 4G coverage, and announced the suspension of 3G networks in 2022, but the rest of companies like mobily depend a lot on 3G in villages and roads. As for zain, most villages do not have coverage at all.
The last time I used 3G was on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 and from the iPhone 6, and I use the 4G. I can say that I forgot that it has 3G and now I use 5G and very little I use 4G. Thank you.
How does the 6X support 4G or 5G? I only know the iPhone 11 and 12
