TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ The users of 5G-enabled Apple iPhones will be able to try 5G telecom services – wherever available publicly in the country – from next week, both on standalone (Reliance Jio) and non-standalone networks (Bharti Airtel). Airtel and Jio customers who download the iOS 16 Beta software update as part of its ‘Apple Beta Software Program’ can try the service and send their feedback to the company.
The final updated software will become available sometime in December. Apple’s beta programme allows users to try pre-release software and experience the latest features before a software is made publicly available. Users can also provide feedback to Apple on quality and usability to help Apple identify problems, address them, and make the software better.
Apple Inc committed to opening the beta programme at a meeting of key mobile device makers called on Wednesday by the department of telecommunications (DoT) to discuss the progress of the 5G rollout in the country. All the other mobile device makers also committed that their respective 5G phones would be enabled to receive 5G by the middle of November (including some with beta software) both on standalone and non-standalone networks.
