As per reports, all 5G enabled smartphones, except Apple's iPhones, will start supporting Airtel 5G services by the middle of this month.
Bharti Airtel Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Gopal Vittal during the company's earnings call said Apple will release the software update in the first week of November and all of its devices should support the company's 5G services by mid-December.
Airtel is providing 5G services at 4G rates but it is likely to take call on the pricing of the next generation services in the next 6-9 months.
"Samsung... I think there are 27 models of 5G. 16 models are already ready and enabled. Rest will happen by November 10-12. OnePlus all 17 models will work on our network. Vivo all 34 models, Realme all 34 models will work on our network. Xiaomi's all 33 models and Oppo all 14 models will work. Apple has 13 models. They will have (software update) release around the first week of November and by mid-December they should be all ready," Vittal said.
According to market research firm IDC, 5.1 crore 5G smartphones were shipped from 2020 to first half of 2022 and they are expected to cross 50 per cent market share by 2023.
