Apple still has a world to reach with the iPhone's 5G promise
Apple’s secret weapon for iPhone 13 deployment isn’t such a big secret: It’s 5G. More specifically, it’s the accelerating adoption and deployment of 5G services and infrastructure that will stimulate demand for Apple’s smartphones. Here’s why:
- Infrastructure for 5G is still being deployed. In the US, not every region has equal access to the tech, though many urban areas do.
- Outside the US you see similar disparities across nations, with pockets of availability. That means there is plenty of room for growth.
- As those unserved areas become served areas, more people may be interested in a 5G iPhone.
But even in areas in which 5G is already available, there’s still a huge upside.
