4G and iPhone in India: Everything you need to know

4G is finally going mainstream in India.

Apple has made no secret of this on the company's financial calls—India's mobile market has seen a meteoric rise in the last few years, and it doesn't look like the growth will abate anytime soon. The country has witnessed a 23% increase in phone sales in Q1 2016, and it is estimated that over a billion phones will be sold by 2020. A key part of that vision is 4G connectivity—the current state of the art of cellular networking—which has been rolling out in phases since 2012. Apple is betting big on iPhone in India this year, after seeing a 56% increase in sales in Q1 2016.

In addition to increasing phone sales, an estimated nine crore (90,000,000) subscribers will use 4G services in India by 2018, and as such there's a huge potential for carriers to upgrade their infrastructure to support 4G. With Reliance Jio set to enter the market with its pan-India 4G license, the segment is slated for its largest expansion yet this year.
