5G Speeds are dependent on a few things. Generally a single song on Apple Music will not take a long time to download however the speed can be effected by any of the below.

  • Wireless Provider Availability/Connection in your location. You will find that 5G speeds can range from Extremely Fast to below 4G Speeds in some areas depending on how your carrier has their network setup and your topographical area (i.e. mountains).
  • What else is downloading at the same time, whether that be that you are downloading a whole playlist or album of songs or downloading some apps at the same time.
  • Concrete or other dense walls or obstructions.


Generally the speed of 5G will be entirely in control of your Wireless Carrier and hence I would recommend contacting them if you are having issues with your service.
