[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] iPhone software problem

[Seth Silverman]

Hi Derek,

Unless you changed something explicitly, I would expect the phone would 
use 5G by default.  To double check, you can go to Settings -> Cellular 
-> Cellular Data Options -> Data Mode.  Note, this is on iOS 26, but it 
should be similar.  You can also see the OS version  using Settings -> 
General -> About -> iOS Version.

In general, if you are not seeing 5G and you expect to see it, you 
should contact your carrier.
