iPhone SE no longer shows 5G

I have an iPhone SE and when I was in Atlanta, I had gotten 5G Signal. Here at my house, I can get 5G but my phone doesn’t say it. What happened?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

iPhone SE does not support 5G

I don't know yours showed 5G in Atlanta, but it was not because you received 5G signal.

Use 5G with your iPhone - Apple Support

Only the iPhone 12 models support 5g yet.

The iPhone SE is NOT a 5G capable device.

Some carriers, notably AT&T, will display a "5GE symbol next to the carrier name when you are connected to an HSPA+ network. That is a 4G LTE network, NOT 5G. It's marketing hype.

Oh, Ok. I thought it did because it said 5GE. AT&T should put a disclaimer next to it (like a X above it) indicating its not actual 5G.

So thanks for helping me out.
