5G is increasingly becoming more accessible to more regions and more phones in the country with the nation’s biggest telco, Safaricom leading the way.

When Safaricom officially launched its 5G network in early November, Apple’s devices couldn’t access the network. Android devices like the OPPO Reno8 5G, OPPO Reno7 5G, OPPO Reno6 5G, OPPO Find X5, Vivo V25 5G, Vivo V23 5G, Infinix Zero Ultra, Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G, TECNO Camon 19 Pro 5G, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G had access to the network even before the official announcement.

Apple’s latest software upgrade, iOS 16.2, now lets you access Safaricom’s network. The upgrade rolling out to the iPhone 14, 13, 12 and the iPhone SE 2022.
