5G Phones May Interfere with Aircraft Instruments; AT&T Gives Delta Flight Attendants iPhone 12s for "First 5G Global Airline"

By B.N. Frank

U.S. aviation experts have been warning for years about potentially catastrophic 5G interference issues (see 1, 2, 3, 4). In fact, a 5G satellite moratorium was implemented in South Africa due to electromagnetic interference issues.

In France, regulators have recommended that 5G smartphones should be turned off during flight due to the potential for interference issues which could cause errors “in instruments that are extremely critical” while landing! Nevertheless, AT&T has partnered with Delta Air Lines to make it the first 5G-equipped global airline.

AT&T has just recently announced that it will actually be equipping all 19,000 Delta Air Lines flight attendants with their own iPhone 12 devices in order for them to truly use AT&T’s 5G network and improve the overall travel experience. The Delta flight attendants will reportedly also be able to use the network’s augmented reality through the phone.

AT&T, Apple, and Delta Collaboration

Access to augmented reality can be very useful in order to assess the onboard inventory that the planes stock and even train some newer staff members when it comes to safety checks as well as passenger assistance. According to CNet, Delta will reportedly work alongside both AT&T and even Apple in order to develop better ways to use the iPhone 12, as said in a recent press release that happened on April 28.

Delta also notes that the deal actually makes it the very first 5G-equipped global airline. The partnership with Delta is expected to “create new 5G enabled experiences” specifically on the iPhone in order to fuel as well as invigorate the whole commercial airline industry. this is according to Rasesh Patel who is the current AT&T Business chief product as well as platform officer.

Specifically regarding iPhone 12 models, Apple has issued warnings that people with pacemakers and other medical implants shouldn’t have these phones too close to their bodies due to electromagnetic interference issues. Someone may want to notify the flight attendants about this as well.

Opposition to 5G is worldwide due to economic, environmental, health, and safety risks. Cities AND entire countries have taken action to ban, delay, halt, and limit 5G installation AS WELL AS issue moratoriums. The majority of scientists oppose deployment.
