Not an early adopter

Apple is known for not being an early adopter when it comes to new wireless standards. According to people close to the matter, Apple 2019 iPhone won’t have 5G capability. Intel might even be ready with its 5G PC solution.

The company already disclosed that some of its close partners including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft are planning to have an Intel 5G-equipped PCs late in 2019. No matter how hard we tried, we could not find any phone manufacturers trusting Intel with its 5G smartphone transition.

Apple will be first, and from where we see it, the only Intel 5G modem adopter. Apple counts that its costumers will stay loyal to the iPhone cult and it will give them 5G when the company sees fit.

Traditionally Apple was late to 3G, 4G and it will most likely be late to 5G as well. Carriers don’t really like it but there is not much that they can do to strong arm Apple. The issue for the carriers/telecoms of the world is as soon as they deploy the 5G infrastructure, they want to put this huge investment of spectrum and infrastructure, electricity and rent to good use.
