Why does 5G not work on Google Fi?

I have been using Google Fi as my carrier for years without issue, but after upgrading to the iPhone 12 I do not have the option to use 5G. Google Fi is not listed as a supported carrier. What is the issue?

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Check with Google for their plans for and support of 5G coverage in your area, and request they add 5G support.


There are some Android-related discussions of Google Fi around:

Seems you might, but the local carrier used by Google (also) needs 5G coverage where you are located.
