Apple to push 5G software updates to iPhone users in December

Apple will start rolling out 5G software updates for iPhone users in December, the tech titan said in a statement, amid the Centre’s nudge to handset players to ensure a smooth 5G experience for telecom subscribers in India.

Apple’s statement assumes significance as the government is holding talks with handset companies to expedite the necessary software updates to smartphones, which will allow customers to experience smooth 5G services.

On October 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of 5G services in the country. But while millions of subscribers in India have 5G-ready phones, many devices by prominent brands are not supporting the service at present.
