Apple getting ready to start work on 6G
While 5G delivers lower latency (what Verizon calls “ultra low lag” in its new commercials), it also is capable of offering download data speeds 10x to 100x faster than 4G LTE. HD videos that take minutes to download on your phone will be installed in just seconds. New technologies and industries that we can’t even think of right now will be created thanks to the faster data speeds and the reduction in lag. 5G will enable self-driving cars to do their thing.
As for 6G, when tech firms sit down at the table to create standards, Apple is going to be there. Last year, it joined an alliance working on 6G standards and those for future generations of cellular service. And while it is way too early to ponder this, early speculation calls for 6G download speeds to be up to 100 times faster than 5G.
