India’s government will push Apple, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers to prioritise rolling out software upgrades to support 5G in the country, amid concerns that many of their models are not ready for the recently launched high-speed service. But Apple’s iPhone models, including the latest iPhone 14, and many of Samsung’s premier phones do not have software compatible with supporting 5G in India, according to three industry sources and Airtel’s website. Apple Inc, Samsung Electronics, Vivo, Xiaomi Corp, as well as the three domestic telecom operators, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Airtel’s website on Tuesday showed “Apple yet to update software” for all of Apple iPhones’ 12 to 14 models under its 5G compatible section. The lack of 5G software upgrades has already irked users.
