Enabling 5G on an iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide
The latest iPhone models, including the iPhone SE 3rd generation, are equipped to connect to the 5G network. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable 5G on your iPhone SE 3rd generation to take advantage of faster 5G speeds.
First, open the Settings app on your iPhone. Next, tap on Cellular. Under the SIMs section, select the carrier for which you want to enable 5G. After that, tap Voice & Data.
You will now see two options: 5G Auto and 5G On.
- 5G Auto: This option allows your iPhone to automatically switch between 5G and LTE based on battery life and network conditions. This is typically recommended for balancing speed and battery life.
- 5G On: Choosing this option forces the iPhone to always use 5G when available, which can use more battery compared to 5G Auto.
Enabling 5G on your iPhone can help enhance the daily user experience, providing a level of responsiveness that 4G cannot match. This can result in faster app downloads, improved video calls, and real-time updates compared to using 4G or LTE.
Switching to 5G Auto on your iPhone is often the best choice for making the most of your device and data plan, as it provides speed when needed and helps conserve battery when not. Under SIMs, select the carrier you would like to enable 5G on.
Please note that enabling 5G on your iPhone does not happen automatically after an upgrade. To switch to 5G, open the Settings app and select "Cellular."
