iPhone dominates Ookla's list of fastest 5G phones in multiple countries

iPhone dominates Ookla’s list of fastest 5G phones in multiple countries،

Yes, I distinctly remember the OG iPhone I bought in 2007. It didn’t support 3G and instead ran on AT&T’s EDGE. The latter offered data speeds as slow as molasses and the only way to get clear YouTube videos was to find a Wi-Fi signal. And if you used Safari, people wouldn’t be able to call you because the calls would be direct directed to voicemail (visual voicemail of course, but voicemail nonetheless). Of course, all these problems disappeared when Apple released the iPhone 3GS in 2008.

Besides the United States, an iPhone had the fastest median 5G downlink speeds in 11 other countries.

Here we are at the end of 2023 and the iPhone has offered 5G support since the launch of the iPhone 12 line in 2020. And in the United States, the new iPhone 15 series dominates Ookla list of fastest 5G phones in the US, Ookla, as many of you already know, has developed the Speedtest.net app which will measure your phone’s 5G downlink and uplink data speeds.
