In iOS 15 and iPad OS 15, for 5G compatible terminals such as iPhone 12 and 2021 model iPad Pro, 'Connected Wi-Fi network is slow', ' Captive Wi-Fi network ', 'Insecure' When you say 'Connected to a Wi-Fi network', the function to prioritize 5G connection over Wi-Fi is installed. Also, according to Apple, most native iOS apps are optimized to run fast when connected to 5G, so app developers are told to 'develop apps that even third-party apps will run fast when connected to 5G. It seems that 'to do' is recommended.

The beta 5 version of iOS 15 was just released on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, in which Apple released a new tool that keeps the iPhone or iPad always prioritizing 5G connectivity. This tool is designed for developers who need to test the behavior of 5G compatible devices when connected to 5G, even if you use the '5G priority function' when the official version of iOS 15 comes out. It's a developer tool to see if a third-party app works properly.



This tool can be installed on 5G-enabled iPhones running iOS 15 Beta 4 or later and 2021 model iPad Pro running iPad OS 15 Beta 4 or later. The tool can be downloaded from the Apple Developer website and is distributed as a profile named '5G Preferred Over Wi-Fi profile'.
