Over 50% of iPhone 13 models expected to ship later this year will support mmWave, according to a new report from Digitimes, in line with rumors that mmWave will be supported in more regions.
MmWave modems distributed more widely, but not in France
“Apple will launch its next-generation iPhone series – tentatively dubbed the iPhone 13 – later in 2021According to sources from the Taiwanese newspaper, who estimate that more than 50% of the total iPhone 13s that will ship this year will be 5G mmWave models. If the report is not yet fully available, the full version is expected to be released. ‘here tomorrow with additional details.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and other sources have claimed that iPhone 13 models will support ultra-fast mmWave 5G bands in other countries, with likely candidates like Canada, Japan, Australia and some European countries. By comparison, support for mmWave on iPhone 12 models is limited in the United States.
Millimeter Waves, or mmWave, is a collection of 5G frequencies that promise lightning-fast speeds over short distances, which is suitable for dense urban areas. In comparison, 5G below 6 GHz is generally slower than mmWave, but the signals travel farther, serving more rural areas better.
5G mmWave testing in the US has seen download speeds close to 2 Gb / s, but scores vary widely depending on your location and proximity to the nearest 5G tower. In France on the other hand, we will certainly have to wait a little longer because the network is not ready for this technology. And for sub-6 Ghz modems, count 200 Mbit / s instead.
