Apple's New iPhones Won't Be 5G Ready

The coming of fifth-generation cellular technology (5G) is bearing down, bringing with it a paradigm shift regarding what can be accomplished on mobile networks. This next generation of mobile internet connectivity is poised to offer lightning fast speeds, lower latency (the amount of time between when you click and when the network responds), more reliable connections, and move greater amounts of data than what was possible in the past. Average download speeds are expected to about 1 gigabyte per second (GBps), which is as much as 100 times faster than what is currently available.

Rumors about Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) upcoming iPhones abound, and many believe that the company will be holding a product launch on Sept. 10 that will include updates and new versions of its most popular devices. One of the more recent reports suggests that 5G won't be available for the products expected to debut next month.
