The iPhone versions released in the past few years have different connectivity options that cater to different user needs. Among the connectivity options available on iPhones are cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Starting with the iPhone 12, all Apple devices support 5G networking, and this includes both the sub-6GHz and the mmWave bands. However, 5G coverage may still be limited in many areas, and it may vary depending on the network carrier.

The iPhone 11, XR, and SE support LTE Advanced for faster internet speeds, while the iPhone 8, 7, and 6s support only standard LTE. Additionally, the iPhone 11, XR, SE, 8, and 7 all support Wi-Fi 6 for faster and more efficient internet connectivity, which the iPhone 6s does not.

Regarding Bluetooth, all iPhone versions starting with the iPhone 6s come with Bluetooth 4.2 or newer versions. The iPhone 12 now supports Bluetooth 5, which is a more advanced version of Bluetooth that offers faster transfer speeds, greater range, and lower power consumption.

In summary, while all iPhone versions have basic connectivity options such as cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, the newer versions like the iPhone 12 offer more advanced connectivity options such as 5G networking, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.
