This article makes absolutely no sense. I think there is a giant misunderstanding of what "5G" means and what "5GHz" is. 5GHz is not comparable to 5G. 5GHz is a WiFi frequency band that emits from the new iPhone 12. 5G is the 5th generation of cellular networking technology, it utilizes frequency bands above the 6GHz range. 5GHz WiFi capabilities are available with almost all in-home WiFi routers now, so the capability on the new iPhone is not that surprising. But as for being a "boon" this just simply isn't the case. When you use your phone as a WiFi hotspot, it basically acts as a link from a device you connect to it to the cellular network. No cellular network in the US has reached 5G mesh coverage yet, save for maybe one city. So when your phone says 5G, it's likely still experience 4G LTE speeds. This limits the capability of the 5GHz WiFi hotspot to be utilized to its full potential, but thats here nor there. This article is wildly misinformed and displays a severe lack of understanding for the technology it's covering. For a website called AppleInsider, you should be ashamed. ,
