5G is a huge talking point for smartphone carriers and manufacturers in 2022 — leading many iPhone 11 owners to wonder if their Apple handset works with 5G. It wasn't that long ago when 5G was just a pipe dream for companies. 5G has been hyped up and promoted for years as the next big thing in wireless, but only recently had it matured enough to actually be useful for people. All the big carriers in the U.S. now have growing 5G networks, most smartphones sold today can connect to 5G, and things are only getting better.

Depending on the smartphone you have, you may be able to use all (or only some) of them. And the naming of some smartphones doesn't help with any of this. With phones marketed as the 'OnePlus 10 Pro 5G' and 'Motorola Edge+ 5G UW,' understanding which 5G bands are and aren't supported on your device is far from simple.

Data speeds on the iPhone 11 are very good thanks to its 'gigabit class' 4G LTE bands, but 5G isn't anywhere on the phone.
