no 5G antenna on the side of new iPhone

I just bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday, and today I realized that there is no visible 5G antenna on the side of my phone.

I live in Denmark, and I’d be sad to have been sold a phone advertised as 5G, WITHOUT 5G.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Only the US Market iPhone 12 phones have the nmWave band on the side of the phone. Your phone most assuredly has the 5G chip in the phone. There is nothing to worry about.


If you go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice and Data and you see 5G options, you have a 5G phone.
