The iPhone 11 does not support 5G. Not with Verizon, not with AT&T. But AT&T, as a marketing gimmick, calls MIMO LTE (multichannel) “5Ge”. is is not true 5G, and verges on being a scam, but it is faster than plain vanilla LTE. Verizon has the same capabilities, but they don’t misleadingly call it 5Ge.
