Apple\`s 5G journey begins with the iPhone 12
Apple Inc on Tuesday launched the iPhone 12 with faster 5G connectivity_ which the Cupertino_ California company hopes will spur a wave of upgrades and keep its sales booming through the end of the year. Verizon Communications Inc CEO Hans Vestberg said the new iPhones would work with the carrier's ultrawideband 5G network designed to alleviate bottlenecks in major cities like New York and Los Angeles as well as in crowded areas like NFL stadiums. Apple said all iPhone 12 models in the United States will support millimeter wave 5G_ the fastest variant of the technology_ as well as lower-frequency bands. Some rival Android devices support only the lower-frequency versions of 5G. The iPhone 12_ with a 6.1-inch display_ has flat sides with a flush display_ similar to the company's iPhone 5 and a departure from rounded edges in recent years. The new phone will have a ceramic shield glass cover to resist cracks when dropped. The company has also extended the range to include a new "Mini" model that has a smaller 5.4in screen. "5G will bring a new level of performance for downloads and uploads_ higher quality video streaming_ more responsive gaming_ real-time interactivity and so much more_" said chief executive Tim Cook.
