5-g, All of this will need 5G to work. Current networks aren't quite fast and reliable enough to handle it -- not when applications like healthcare and utilities are thrown into the mix.
Another key application of 5G is "the mother of all technologies," a breakthrough that will change our world.
Essentially, whoever controls 5G is anticipated to control the internet several years from now. So, the long-term investment potential is huge.
The whole industry is shifting to 5G, and soon Apple will be along for the ride -- but I don't view AAPL as the right way to play 5G now. Apple has a history of making more money from services (like AppleCare and Apple Music) than from the devices themselves. And, anyway, it won't deliver 5G phones until September 2020.
Samsung and Huawei are further ahead on 5G -- but instead of the companies that need 5G technology, I think more money can be made in the one that's involved in the creation of 5G. That will be the stock that lets us cash in on that whole meteoric rise of the 5G market.
