5G Standalone vanished after updating to iOS 16.4. Before it was there till 16.3.1
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
As far as my understanding goes 5G (SA) and 5G (NSA) is a technology provided by Cellular Operators in India based on the infrastructure they have or used.
I am unable to understand how mobile users can choose between the two different technology infrastructures.
Please understand this...
5G (Fifth Generation) mobile technology has two deployment options: Stand Alone (SA) and Non-Stand Alone (NSA).
Overall, SA 5G is considered to be the more advanced and desirable deployment option for 5G networks, while NSA 5G allows for a more gradual transition to the new technology.
Even I am facing same issue. I am using e sim.
more over the area name is listed by the operator stating that 5G coverage is available but after IOS update SA option vanished. Even before the update I was using 5g
It’s been fixed on iOS 16.4.1, even without the 5G standalone toggle you will be able to get Jio 5G on your iPhone.
If it doesn’t work, try resetting network settings, I did the same and it’s working for me now.
To reset network settings:
Go to Settings> General> Transfer or Reset iPhone> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
Hope this helps. Check attached screenshot for confirmation. Yes, I’m running on Jio carrier.
And internet speed comparatively reduced to more than halves of a half from where it was when standalone could be deployed, but majority android devices didn’t support this feature, if now Jio decides to only provide what’s available for all devices that makes more sense, while previously there was 5G Auto mode and Standard mode as it is now and ‘True5G’ was still accessible but with standalone turned on, the internet speed would more than double. I checked Jio website and Standalone was quite innovative for Jio as they used home grown technology to provide a GBPS speed and they provided unlimited data to everyone, then limited it unlimited to ‘JioPlus’ postpaid users and that’s kind of a subscription model worked then remove Prime & Netflix OTT offerings whatever limited it to only 699 ₹ users‼️ Now when they will have certain amount of customers next move is gonna be they gonna put a data cap and launch a separate plan for unlimited data, makes sense

Dear deepjyoti, I’m still getting over 1Gbps download speed on Jio True5G without the standalone switch. No change in connection or speed.
Probably because Jio “True5G” is Jio’s name for 5G SA.
No, my operator supports SA. Before the update i was having SA. After the update its gone. I am from india and using JIO 5G (SA)
I’m on T-Mobile here in the US. Got 5G. Using iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Option is not there.
I am also facing same issue in India where the Standalone toggle for 5G is not showing after IOS 16.4 upgrade. I am on Jio true5G carrier.
I am also Jio user facing same problem after update to 16.4
I suggest you read more of the thread you posted to. Others have reported that all JIO 5G is now SA mode, so it is on all the time and thus doesn’t need a switch.
@sayan1996
today’s screenshot for you, I’m using Jio 5G with iOS 16.4.
This is mine. No connection type.
This is image from operator app. The settings which they are recommending to do is not there in the device.
I am able to see only 5G on or 5g auto.
additionally want to inform you that I am using e sim
