“We are working with our carrier partners in India to bring the best 5G experience to iPhone users as soon as network validation and testing for quality and performance is completed,” Apple said in a statement.

Top bureaucrats from India’s telecoms and IT departments will chair a meeting on Wednesday for early 5G adoption, asking executives from Apple, Samsung (KS:005930), Vivo and Xiaomi (OTC:XIACF), as well as domestic telecom operators Reliance, Airtel and Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD) Idea to be present, according to a government document seen by Reuters.
