According | to sources, | a new 5G iPhone | is on the way for | T-Mobile

It will be possible to discern whether you're receiving ultra-fast 5G connections or simply standard 5G speeds with the iPhone 13 thanks to a new indication T-Mobile is introducing.

The new 5G UC indicator will appear in the upper right corner for T-Mobile subscribers when the carrier's fastest 5G service is available.

5G's Unified Communications (UC) Ultra Capacity is referred to as UC. To let customers know when they're using mmWave spectrum, Verizon has a 5G UWB indication (for 5G ultrawideband), while AT&T utilizes 5G+ to let customers know when they're using 5G+. In addition to the 5G E symbol, AT&T offers a normal 5G indication. Last but not least, we've got LTE, not 5G. Not quite sure what's going on yet?"

T-Mobile said the new 5G UC sign will appear on other smartphones in the future, starting with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. It's important to note that T-5G Mobile's coverage is now spread over a variety of bands, each of which offers a unique combination of coverage area and speed.

To help extend the overall range of its network, the carrier uses sub-6GHz 5G frequencies, while the company uses mid-band and mmWave airways to provide much greater speeds.

With the $9.3 billion in C-band spectrum that T-Mobile purchased in January, T-Mobile customers may expect even quicker and more expansive 5G service.

T-Mobile isn't muddying the waters as much as AT&T has, even though it does seem weird to have so many different ways to define what kind of 5G network you're connected to. T-Mobile recently stated that starting November 1, it would provide same-day in-store repairs for damaged phones at more than 500 of the company's retail locations, which may be of interest to iPhone 13 users.

In order to utilize T-repair Mobile's service, customers must purchase the $7/month Protection plan from T-Mobile, which may be obtained at the time of repair or after buying or leasing a new qualified device from T-Mobile. This is critical to remember.

There are further benefits like unlimited screen protector replacements, live tech assistance through the Protection app (available on Android and iOS), AppleCare for compatible Apple devices, and even replacements in the event of theft, loss, or unintentional damage included in the T-Mobile Protection plan.
