With the latest iOS 15.4 beta, Apple is allowing users to download iOS software updates using 4G cellular data. This is a great move for users living in areas where 5G connectivity is not entirely available. In addition, the option to download over 5G network is only available for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series. However, iOS 15.4 will bring the option to all non-5G iPhone models, allowing them to download software updates not only through WiFi but cellular data as well.
