This will assuredly change as people upgrade to new devices, but for right now it means an experience that isn't radically different.ĪT&T's 4G LTE connection on the 11 Pro Max was in nearly the same ballpark as Verizon's 4G LTE, with download speeds generally between 30 and 35Mbps. Given that there are a lot more 4G devices in use right now, it is getting the priority of resources which results in an unexciting 5G network. The nature of DSS is that it devotes more network resources depending on what's needed in the area. The 4G LTE experience wasn't much different on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but download speeds did at least top 50 Mbps (with lows in the 30s) and upload speeds came in between 4 and 5Mbps. Verizon's low-band 5G network, which shares airwaves with its 4G LTE service through a technology called Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS), saw 5G download speeds between 27 and 49Mbps (with uploads around 1Mbps) on the The 4G LTE connection on the iPhone 11 Pro Max held its own with the early 5G networks on the 12 Pro Max. On the highest frequency is millimeter-wave, the flavor of 5G most favored by Verizon which has the fastest speeds (often well above 1Gbps) but has a range that struggles to reach beyond a few city blocks, can easily be impeded by trees and leaves and can't penetrate into buildings. A Federal Communications Commission auction is currently underway for more midband spectrum, with AT&T and Verizon both expected to be active bidders. For its midband network, which T-Mobile expects to cover 200 million people by the end of 2021, the carrier has touted average speeds ranging from 300Mbps to peaks of 1Gbps. Midband 5G, which T-Mobile has been most aggressive in deploying, doesn't have the same range as low-band but has much faster speeds and can still work indoors. This is also the most widely available version of 5G across all three US carriers nationwide. One of the three flavors of 5G, low-band offers speeds that are roughly similar to a good 4G LTE connection but with improved coverage indoors and outside.
