Original: SK Telecom, LG Uplus Target iPhone 5G SA by Year-End [2026]
South Korean carriers SK Telecom and LG Uplus are reportedly aiming to support standalone 5G on the iPhone by the end of 2026. The move would bring full standalone network capabilities to Apple's handsets on their networks, a step beyond the non-standalone 5G currently in use. Details on Apple's involvement or technical timelines remain limited.
Why now: The prospect of full standalone 5G support on iPhones in South Korea is newsworthy for mobile users and the telecom industry.
