5G is Coming Soon

Qualcomm has announced a new processor called the Snapdragon 855. The Snapdragon 855 will likely be the processor found in the earliest 5G-enabled smartphones in the United States. Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 855 will support multi-gigabit download speeds and allow for improved AI, gaming and augmented reality. The Snapdragon 855 won’t be in the newest iPhones and it appears that Apple users may have to wait until 2020 for the first 5G iPhone.
