Latest iPhone leak reveals Apple’s monumental postponement

In 2019, smartphones with 5G capabilities are becoming a commonality with several smartphone brands already launching their products with this feature. Apple, on the other hand, has never been one of the fastest to embrace the latest mobile standard and the case with its adoption of 4G cement this point. Now, the latest leak has indicated that Apple will wait until 2020 to launch its first 5G handset and only in 2021 will all its models come with this feature. This is a monumental delay considering by 2020, most smartphone manufacturers will be offering different models of their handsets with this feature; thereby leaving Apple in the dust.

The market condition isn’t what it used to be back when Apple launched its first 4G handset. At that time Apple was the trendsetter; but in 2019 several brands such as Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus and Xiaomi are all worthy contenders to exploit an open 5G market as they see fit.
