iPhone 12 5G will be exclusive to MTN network in South Africa​

The Apple iPhone 12 will support 5G connectivity in South Africa when it launches on 18 December, but this capability will be exclusive to MTN’s network at first.

The operator has stated it is the only network authorised to enable 5G on the new iPhone 12, from December 2020, into early 2021.

“Through rigorous 5G testing with Apple, MTN is proud to announce that on launch the Apple iPhone 12 will be enabled for 5G on the MTN network,” MTN said in a statement today.

Once again MTN network leads the way. I wonder what happened to Vodacom... they where always first now their network is a laughing stock.

MTN is the first network for E-Sim support for the iPhone even.

Best network in SA, makes sense.

Vodascum use to be the leaders, now there network runs at edge speeds compared to mtn!

Look forward to using 5G on their 500MB package for R900.

Does MTN still spam you with 5689 smses a day? If not, I might consider them for an iPhone contract.

I've been on MTN for 10 yrs now. Can't recall the last time I had an SMS from them. If I get even 1 a month, that's a lot.
