Bharti Airtel rolls out 5G in eight cities
Bharti Airtel has set the 5G bandwagon rolling by launching the service in eight cities, including Siliguri in Bengal. But some of the flagship handsets while being 5G capable on the hardware side would need a software update for the users to latch on to the 5G network.
Airtel has given a detailed FAQ (frequently asked questions) on its website along with the list of handsets that are currently capable of connecting to 5G services.
The list expectedly includes Apple’s iPhone 12 and its variants, iPhone 13 and its variants, iPhone SE 2022 and the new iPhone 14 and its variants. However, what is unexpected is that these handsets would require software updates to be able to connect to the 5G network.
