Just a few hours passed when we reported that while all iPhone 12 models support dual-SIM mode, enabling this model will cause 5G speeds to throttle to 4G LTE instead. This would have resulted in a massive blow to customers who wanted to carry around two numbers in a single handset. This is normally the practice when you want to separate your work life from your personal life; you keep two numbers. Those who were looking for this convenience while also looking to experience fast 5G speeds would have been disappointed as enabling dual-SIM mode disables 5G connectivity. Fortunately, there’s hope for all future iPhone 12 customers in the future.

Apple was said to introduce a software update in the future that would allow iPhone 12 owners to switch to dual-SIM mode as well as experience 5G speeds too. Well, here’s an update on that news. According to an internal Verizon slide obtained by MacRumors, Apple plans to roll out a software update that would allow users to enable 5G while having the dual-SIM mode enabled too. That’s excellent news to hear because there are less than two and a half months remaining for 2020 to end, so it’s likely that we’ll see a software update from the company roll out in the coming weeks.
