REUTERS: Apple Inc on Tuesday launched the iPhone 12 with faster 5G connectivity starting at US$799, which the Cupertino, California company hopes will spur a wave of upgrades and keep its sales booming through the end of the year.
Apple said all iPhone 12 models in the United States will support millimeter wave 5G, the fastest variant of the technology, as well as lower-frequency bands. Some rival Android devices support only the lower-frequency versions of 5G.AdvertisementApple also announced a HomePod Mini smart speaker that will come in white and gray, cost US$99 and be shipped starting Nov. 16.
But Apple is in a delicate position of needing to excite consumers with 5G without setting them up for a disappointment: For many of its fans, it will be their first experience with 5G networks, which in the United States remain years away from delivering dramatic speed boosts for most consumers. Some analysts worry Apple will be selling a high-powered sports car while its customers remain confined to sleepy village roadways.
