Even after this announcement, several doubts arose, mainly involving the availability of the feature in Brazilian operators and compatible devices.

After analyzing the files of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), it was then noticed that there is a list of all devices that are ready to receive 5G in the country. See below:

- iphone 12
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iphone 13 mini
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iphone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
It has been noted that all iPhones that have a 5G modem will be compatible.
Even with this listing, Apple still hasn't made it clear, in any support document on the site, which devices will actually be compatible. It is only known that the iPhones of line 14 will be enabled for the function.
Plans with 5G
Even if your iPhone supports 5G AS, not all cellular plans will support it. Therefore, it is important to consider this aspect before investing in a new device as well.
For now, the plans of operators TIM and Claro will limit access.
For Sure customers, only 100GB and 200GB plans are eligible, and in the case of TIM, it is necessary to contract the Turbo 5G package.
compatible chips
It is worth noting that some operators will still ask their customers to change the card SIM to use 5G Standalone, either migrating to a new compatible physical model or to the SIM of technology.
