5G: Beta programme for Apple devices rolled out

Age ncies
Apple Inc has rolled out a beta programme to enable 5G on Apple devices as the upgrade lets users try out pre-release
software.
This software upgrade enables 5G access on Apple devices, as and when service providers Jio, Airtel and Vodafone
enable 5G network access, sources said.
Apple users have to enrol for the beta programme on the website, install a profile and download the software.
Jio users using iPhone 12 and above, in cities where JioTrue5G has been rolled out, will be invited to the Jio Welcome
Offer. Jio Welcome Offer provides unlimited 5G data at up to 1 Gbps speed to users at no additional cost.
However, there is a condition that prepaid users must be on active Rs 239 and above plan. All Postpaid users are eligible
for this trial. Airtel is not providing any special 5G offer like Jio to their users.
In the cities/areas in which the Airtel 5G network has been launched, users can trial 5G services as a part of their existing plan,
once they have updated the latest Apple Beta software.
While an email sent to Apple did not solicit an immediate response, the firm had last month stated: “We are working with our carrier
partners in India to bring the best 5G experience to iPhone users as soon as network validation and testing for quality and performance is
completed. “5G will be enabled via a software update and will start rolling out to iPhone users in December.”
Airtel and Jio customers on iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 and iPhone SE (3rd generation) models can experience 5G
as part of Apple's iOS 16 Beta Software Program.
The Apple Beta Software Program is open to anyone with a valid Apple ID who accepts the Apple Beta Software Program
Agreement during the sign-up process.
If a user has an iCloud account, that is an Apple ID, it is recommended they use that. If they do not have an iCloud account or
any other Apple ID, they can create one.
