iPhone. A very important announcement regarding a feature much desired by Apple fans came today, it has already been announced for the phones Samsung GALAXY S10, and is to be announced for Huawei P30 PRO. More precisely, it is about the 5G connectivity that is currently being prepared for implementation in iPhones, with Intel supplying the modems that will be used in the Cupertino products.
iPhone. Intel is unable to produce 5G modems for Apple phones in 2019, so in iPhone 11 we will not see this connectivity included, but in 2020 it will definitely be offered. Those from Intel are preparing to start the test production for the 5G modems dedicated to iPhone phones in the second half of this year, with industrial scale production starting only in 2020, i.e. some time after the iPhone 11 will be launched by Apple.
iPhone. MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Regarding a very DESIRABLE Function
iPhone. Although the Android phones that will be released in 2019 will use 5G modems from Samsung and Qualcomm, Apple will not buy such components from either of these two companies, and we already know why. Instead, Apple will buy the 5G modems for the iPhone from the Intel company, and maybe from MediaTek, but the collaboration with the second company is not so sure for now, as it is not certified by the Americans.
Intel is reportedly to begin working on engineering projects that will enable mass-production of 5G modem chips with its collaborative partners in the second quarter of 2019, according to sources from Taiwan's IC backend service providers.
iPhone. The lack of 5G connectivity in iPhone 11 phones shouldn't be such a big problem, and that's because there won't be too many active 5G networks in the fall, when the series will be launched. In this idea, there will be quite a few customers who will feel the lack of 5G connectivity in the iPhone models that will be launched in 2019, but in 2020 the situation will be different, because there will be many more active networks globally.
iPhone. 5G connectivity is very important for phones, and it will definitely be integrated by Apple, it remains to be seen if they will postpone the integration after 2020.
