How to Manage 5Ge on an iPhone XS and Related Network Settings
When dealing with network settings on an iPhone XS, you might come across the term '5Ge', which is essentially a marketing term for enhanced 4G LTE. Here's a detailed guide on how to manage 5Ge and related network settings on your iPhone XS.
Understanding 5Ge on iPhone XS
iPhone XS models are not equipped with the necessary hardware to support 5G. Therefore, 5Ge on an iPhone XS is essentially a feature that allows you to use enhanced 4G LTE speeds. Turning off 5Ge on an iPhone XS involves several steps and can be done manually.
Manually Disabling 5Ge on iPhone XS
The process to disable 5Ge on an iPhone XS involves a few simple steps:
Open Settings: Start by tapping on the 'Settings' app on your iPhone XS. Scroll to 'Cellular': Once in the Settings app, scroll down and tap on 'Cellular' to enter the cellular data settings. Tap on 'Cellular Data Options': In the Cellular settings, tap on 'Cellular Data Options' to view the detailed options. Change Network Type: Within 'Cellular Data Options', you will see options for 'Voice Data'. Here you can select 'LTE' or '4G' instead of '5G On' or '5G Auto'. By selecting 'LTE', your iPhone will use the LTE network, effectively disabling 5Ge. To Disable Cellular Data Altogether: If you prefer to disable all cellular data, toggle off 'Cellular Data' at the top of the Cellular settings menu.Remember, turning off cellular data will affect all apps that rely on mobile data. If you want to use the LTE network instead of 5Ge, make sure to select 'LTE' in the 'Voice Data' section.
Why Turn Off 5Ge?
While 5Ge is just an experimental feature that carriers are using to prepare for 5G, it essentially works like 4G LTE. This feature is marketed for its enhanced speed and performance. However, there is no need to turn it off if you have an iPhone XS, as your device cannot support 5G or 5Ge anyway.
Additional Considerations:
No Specific Network Speed Options: Unless you have a specific data plan that includes specific network speeds, you cannot choose which cellular band to use on any phone. Experimental Feature: 5Ge is just a marketing term for enhanced 4G LTE speeds. It is not a true 5G network and does not offer any additional benefits for devices that cannot support 5G.Overall, managing 5Ge on your iPhone XS is simply a matter of understanding the options available in the settings and making the appropriate choices.
