iPhone 12 & above to get 5G (Jio and Airtel) from Today with new iOS 16.2 update!

Jio and Airtel have started rolling out 5G services to their iPhone users from today i.e. 15th December 2022. However, those with iPhone 12 & above models only will get 5G access currently, with the latest iOS 16.2 update from Apple.

iPhone users will be entitled to the Jio 5G Welcome Offer which promises unlimited 5G data at upto 1Gbps speed (mostly gives around 200 Mbps on Android). If your current Jio plan is of ₹239 or higher then you simply need to turn on ‘5G AUTO’ and ‘5G Standalone’ in settings. Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS 16.2 and ‘low power mode’ is off. For others, a ₹239 or higher amount of Jio prepaid or postpaid recharge needs to be done for 5G access. Besides, there are no restrictions for Airtel Recharge.

The entire iPhone 12, 13, and 14 series is now eligible for 5G including Apple iPhone SE 2022 3rd gen with the iOS 16.2 stable version.
