With the rest of the mobile world scrambling to embrace 5G in 2019, it’s no secret that Apple is in no rush to roll out iPhones with 5G support anytime soon. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that Apple didn’t embrace 3G with the original iPhone and took its sweet time before embracing 4G LTE with the iPhone 5. Truthfully, Apple’s strategy with respect to 5G is perfectly understandable given that broad coverage for 5G across the country is going to take some time. Indeed, many carriers won’t see significant 5G coverage until the latter half of 2019.
All that said, a new report from Bloomberg relays that when Apple finally does decide to embrace 5G — presumably with its 2020 iPhone lineup — the company may have some trouble sourcing components. Remember, with Apple currently embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with Qualcomm, the company isn’t left with many options.
