Year after year, devices and features get more and more advanced. The mobile internet, for example, is constantly evolving to improve the experience of Internet users. It is even in the process of migrating from 4G to a new technology, 5G. As it is in its initial phase, this new service is often not even used.
This happens mainly with iPhone users, where only a simple activation in the device's settings is required, but not everyone knows about it. So, find out now how to activate 5G SA on your iphone.

5G SA technology arrives with a large advantage over 4G
If 4G technology for mobile internet was already considered fast, reaching 100 Mbps (megabits per second) with response time (latency) ranging from 60 ms to 98 ms (the lower, better), the 5G SA goes much further.
The new technology is capable of reaching an incredible 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) operating in a latency between 10 and 1 ms, and it can even reach less. As a result, data processing is much faster and users suffer less from interference and connection delays.
- 5G SA is only available for line 14 iPhones
After making the latest version of iOS available, Apple released access to 5G SA in Brazil. However, even with some previous lines having compatibility with the technology, the company restricted its use only to line 14 iPhones.
- Step by step to activate 5G SA
Now that you're familiar with the benefits and features of 5G SA, it's time to see if the feature is available and enabled on your phone. To do this, just follow these steps:
- Open the settings;
- Go to “Cell Phone”;
- Click on “Cellular Data Options”;
- Then select “Voice and Data”;
- Activate the “5G Standalone” option.
My iPhone does not have the “5G Standalone” option, now what?
If you have a line 14 iPhone and have updated to iOS 16.4 and the option still does not appear, then the ideal is to contact the operator or even change the chip.
