Why do that when you can push out marketing terms without the backbone being implement for the consumer.
I get 0G at my house no matter what carrier. I can get 4G at the end of my street...
Typical Apple. Right up there leading the tech. Didn't the Chinese launch a 6G satellite earlier this week?
They'll have is all defined leaving the rest of the world to sweep up the dregs.
Back in the real world... many people are looking at 5G and the palava surrounding it and wondering when they'll ever see 4G let along 5G and 6G is as likely as their being a sentinel found on the moon. Consider me cynical if you like... but...

I think this story meant to say that AT&T is already working on the next 6G logo... not an actual 6G network.
I wish they were 9 months ago. It's still rife in here the UK. A significant number of people who genuinely seem to believe 5G is connected with Covid, and that both were created by the shapeshifting lizard people in order to ... ?
1. Build masts, create pandemic.
2. ???
3. Profit
8GE+ is really where you're going to see the advancements we need
Do you seriously think that the people working on this are being taken off 5G roll outs? This is how technology works and how you end up with better things. People work on them for years. It's not always steady, linear progression.
Like with 5G, China already ahead of U.S. with 6G.

I'm hardly against this by any measure, but how about just adding ATSC 3.0 chips in the phones to watch live TV and video on your phone for FREE since that is now available in some markets like Phoenix and Pittsburgh? Oops, bad topic. Every time I post something about FREE VIDEO on your phone here, my post gets removed mysteriously. Obviously the carrier industry is staunchly against this future feature, but it will come one way or another to your phone despite them via WIFI to a market near you this year or next from your local TV stations. Not that anyone needs 4K video on their phone that much, but you'll certainly get 1080p video and it will be free, not having to pay for data costs. I'm shocked this isn't a bigger or more discussed topic.
Communications in the terahertz and terabyte range. Satellite to satellite communications. China already began work on this last year and launched a 6G satellite. It’s largely designed for IoT.
I get 3 bars at home, 1-2 bars up the road at the Wal-mart 2.2 miles from my house (nothing inside the store) and my wife’s son has to have an internet VoIP box in his house to be able to use T-Mobile at all. He lives 4.3 miles away from me. 5G is meaningless drivel to me at this point. Just my experience.
Ok but you missed the point of my post. And I meant rural, not urban, that probably led to some confusion lol
Theoretically 4G can get gigabit, but the infrastructure has taken a break is it moved to 5G. Theoretically we could stay in 4G and just push speeds and be OK. It takes years maybe even a decade of research and development to start implementing new cellular tech (4G came out in 2009). Apple can help drive the alliance to provide the features and experience they want users to get.
I’m pretty content with LTE from AT&T in my area. Almost as fast as wifi with hardly any if none at all down spots.
Depends on what you mean by 'fully available', it's never likely to spread beyond dense urban centres due to the cost and technical limitations. If part of 6G is offering more easily deployable top speed coverage, it might worth expediting it over putting money into fundamentally hobbled 5G.
