Verizon is displaying the two different logos so that its customers don’t get confused between the low-band 5G signals and the high-band signals. Thanks to a little trick called carrier aggregation, which combines as many as eight channels, Verizon is reportedly delivering 5G data speeds as fast as 4Gbps.
Consumers switching to Verizon will be eligible to receive a free iPhone 12 under certain circumstances. Existing customers can pay as little as $15 a month for an iPhone 12 using a device payment plan and a select unlimited plan.
