Did Apple only update 5G-A in China for iOS 18.4 this time?

by Poster Apr 1, 2025 95
It's very strange. I haven't seen people discuss the 5G-A (5.5 G) of the iOS 18.4 update this time, such as reddit/youtube. The English video didn't mention it, and Apple's update instructions didn't write. It seems that only Chinese users are discussing the 5G-A signal? Is this an update only for China? Why don't we see any foreigners discussing it, or do we say that 5G-A has already been popularized abroad, and we are just blinded? Can any overseas students confirm it? Why do you feel that this matter is only discussed in Jane?

    Foreign 4 and 5G were at full speed from the beginning. Only China was castrated by itself. Now China's WIFI7 is still castrated and adjusted to 6GHZ

    Has anyone successfully opened it?? What are the opening conditions?

    @ Anonymous1751 # 2 The system was updated to the 18.4 beta version more than half a month ago and used 5GA. There are no conditions for opening telecom, just upgrades, and now speed-up packages in many cities are free

    Things have to be done step by step. The United States is still slowly advancing 5G standalone, and the priority of 5G-A is relatively low. Let's wait until we in Red Neck State solve the problem that when there are more people in some large commercial plazas, mobile phones have signals but cannot access the Internet. 😂

    @ Anonymous13926 # 3 I am from China Mobile and China Unicom. I updated the system today, and it still only shows the 5G logo, but there is no 5GA logo. Do I need to open the speed-up package??

    @ Anonymous94 5G-A, that is, 5G Advanced, will not be finalized until 3GPP Release 18 in 2024. According to this report by PCmag, T-Mobile's 5G-A deployment is still in the upcoming stage. https://www.pcmag.com/news/t-mobile-tech-president-were-taking-5g-advanced-nationwide-mwc-2025 Simply put, the reason why there is no discussion is because large-scale deployment has not yet begun.

    wifi7 6ghz is not something we want to castrate. They didn't design it for us, hey.

    @ Anonymous1751 # 5 China Unicom's ordinary package does not open the speed-up package, and 5G-A will also be displayed in the covered area. I suspect your area isn't covered

    @ Anonymous94 It's already 2025. If you don't let them show off 5G-A, is there anyone else stopping them from showing off their internet speed? 😄

    My Japanese version of iPhone 15 Pro Max shows 5GA after update

    Huh? Huh? 5G-A or 5.5 G? My VIVO X100 has recently started to display 5GA, but every time I use 5GA, the network speed is very slow or the network is intermittent. I thought 5GA was a weak network environment of 5G--! Hahaha/dog

    It originally supports the aggregation of CA, but the display is just changed, and there is nothing powerful. If you don't believe your speed test, it's still the same.

    @ Anonymous13145 What? The United States hasn't finished advancing 5G SA yet? On the one hand, the United States has a special supply of millimeter waves, on the other hand, independent 5G has not yet been deployed, which is a bit strange
  • Anonymous6734 Apr 1, 2025
    @ Anonymous14504 is different. In actual measurements, 5GA is more likely to run to the speed given by the operator. Ordinary 5G can only run to half or 2/3 at most
  • Anonymous14352 Apr 1, 2025
    My 5GA showed it down and after a few minutes it disappeared again.. Why
  • Anonymous5749 Apr 1, 2025
    @ Anonymous14352 Me too
  • Anonymous351 Apr 1, 2025
    I use China Telecom to run 5GA, and the maximum download of the Genshin Impact update package is more than 50 MB/S.
  • Anonymous2516 Apr 1, 2025
    It has been updated to 18.4, but 4G is still locked. There is no signal at 5Ga or even 5G at every turn, or it becomes a weak network and nothing can be opened. It is too uncomfortable.
  • Anonymous14504 Apr 1, 2025
    @ Anonymous6734 # 14 easier... 2CA or 3CA is not easier, it is a qualitative leap that you see directly. It already supports multi-carrier aggregation, so 5GA is just a decoration, which makes you feel great. https://i.imgur.com/NIvxivj.png
