Apple’s budget phone to helm 5G tech

Apple’s cheapest handset will support 5G technology in its next iteration, and its iphone Mini will not be included in its 2022 line-up, according to a Nikkei report. The report adds that Apple will start selling a 5G version of budget iphone SE in the first half of 2022. Telecom operators have been spending billions of dollars to upgrade their networks to the muchtouted 5G to enable faster internet and better coverage. However, analysts are sceptical of the uses of the technology to individual consumers and believe that there are years to come before one can reap the actual benefits.
