Using JIO LTE network inspite of 5G being enabled by default

[anjanesh]

I updated someone's iPhone 13 to iOS 16.2 Beta 3 - the settings show 5G (using JIO) and I enabled it.

But the network still seems to be using LTE.

What more do I have to do to make it use JIO 5G ?

It looks like I need to await for the JIO Welcome Offer.

How do you know for certain you’re in a 5G coverage area?

I live 10 mins drive from the main JIO campus - I assumed that they would've covered such near-by areas.
How else can I check if I'm in a 5G coverage area ?
Because right now, I got my iPhone 12 Pro Max to have 5G options and enabled in the data plan. But network still shows LTE.

Finally discovered 5G 2 kms away from my residence at Nerul Bus Depot, Navi Mumbai @ max 833Mbps !

Just wait until more people start using 5G. It won't take long for the speed to go below 60Mbps! Apart from downloading pirated movies at blazing fast, do we have any other benefits of having 5G in our tiny screen?

What about iPads etc where 5G will be super useful while on the move ?

Surprising that Apple hasn’t yet updated iPadOS 16 to support 5G on iPads in India
