iPhones to Come Up with 5G in the Year 2020

The first 5G phones are all set to hit the market next year. Motorola is planning to bring next-gen connectivity via a Mod for the Z3, and companies like LG and OnePlus have promised to deliver the tech baked into handsets at some point in 2019.

A report anticipated the timing around a year and a half out.
