Determining which carriers have the best 5G coverage for iPhone users involves considering factors like speed and availability[2]. While specific carriers may lead in certain areas, coverage can vary significantly based on location[2][3].
Key Considerations:
* Verizon: According to a 2020 Opensignal report, Verizon offered faster 5G speeds compared to other U.S. carriers[2]. However, the report also noted that limited availability made T-Mobile a better choice overall[2]. PCMag noted in tests that Verizon's 5G Nationwide network speeds were sometimes slower than 4G LTE speeds[4].
* T-Mobile: While Verizon had faster speeds, T-Mobile's 5G network was more widely available[2].
* AT&T: AT&T provides substantial 4G coverage nationwide[10].
To find the best 5G coverage for your iPhone, it's important to check the coverage maps and conduct speed tests in your specific area[2][3].
