thewayneApple doesn't make 5G iPhones yet. AT&T doesn't have a widespread 5G network yet. In December I wrote about AT&T fake labeling their phones to appear on a 5G network even though it's just an upgraded 4G network.
But with a forthcoming iPhone update, some iPhones will display that they're connecting to a 5G network even though the phones are electronically/physically incapable of connecting to 5G because they don't have the internal guts.
*sigh*
Apple and AT&T did the exact same thing in 2012 with 4G and LTE, so it's a familiar ruse between them.
