iPhone 11, is now about half a year away from the official launch, and the world is asking more and more often if we will see from the American company 5G offered to customers who will buy its new mobile phone models. There has been talk in recent months about the possibility of Apple implementing 5G in the iPhone 11, but Intel confirms without a doubt that this will not happen, unfortunately for all those who expect innovations from Cupertino in 2019.
iPhone 11, will not have an integrated 5G modem because Intel will not have these components ready for use in Apple's smartphones this year, but only sometime in 2020. Sandra Rivera, who heads the division that develops the modems used in the phones iPhone, including the 5G for iPhone 11, stated that for now the company he works for does not have 5G technology ready to be offered in any of its own modems.
iPhone 11 will not have 5G because of Intel
iPhone 11, it will come, most likely with improved 4G connectivity, and this means that we can see better Internet browsing speeds in this series of phones, but for now there are not many details about it. Apple managers talked with those of Samsung, or MediaTek, to buy 5G modems for the iPhone 11, but it seems that the discussions did not reach a positive conclusion for the customers of those from Cupertino, who are waiting for innovations this year.
Intel Corp executives said on Friday its 5G modem chips will not appear in mobile phones until 2020, raising the possibility that its biggest customer, Apple Inc, will be more than a year behind rivals in delivering a device that uses the faster networks. Sandra Rivera, who oversees Intel's networking chip business, said at a media event in Palo Alto, California, that sample 5G modem chips will ship to customers this year but that Intel does not expect consumer "products in the market" until 2020.
iPhone 11, could be the "last straw" for those at Apple, and this because recent rumors suggest that in Cupertino more people have been assigned to the team that should develop modems for future phones. It seems that Apple is a bit tired of waiting for Intel, which anyway does not have modems as good as those of Qualcomm, but the iPhone 11 could be a starting point to replace the Intel processors in MacBooks with some of Apple's.
iPhone 11, will be launched by the Apple company in the fall of this year, most likely somewhere around September, following a presentation that will also take place in the same period.
