The first models of Apple phones that will have 5G connectivity have been revealed to the whole world, and we are talking about the series iPhone 12, which will reach us next year. More precisely, the iPhone 12 phone models will be those that have 5G connectivity, and will be launched during 2020, so in the fall of next year, and it seems that all three of the series will have this technology, in contrast to what previously thought about telephones.
Unfortunately, the iPhone 11 phone series, which will also be composed of 3 models, will not have integrated 5G connectivity, so we are still left with 4G, which has been expanded quite a bit. The information comes from the famous Asian analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he changed his estimates 180 degrees after Apple bought Intel's 5G modem division, and can produce its own components right now.
The iPhone 12 series will be the FIRST with integrated 5G connectivity
iPhone 12 phones will have support for 5G networks that work both on mmWave technology and for those that work on frequencies lower than 6 GHz, so there is diversity. The American company is obliged to launch iPhone 12 phones with such extensive support because it sells its phones in many areas around the globe, and it has to offer support for all kinds of 5G implementations, the US and China being their main problems.
“We now believe that all three new iPhone models in 202 will offer 5G for the following reasons. (1) Apple has more resources for 5G iPhone development after acquiring Intel's modem business. (2) We expect 5G Android smartphone prices to drop to $249-$349 in 2H20. (3) Promoting 5G networks could benefit Apple's AR ecosystem.”
Apple is waiting for the launch of the iPhone 12 to implement 5G support in its phones because at the moment there are not many networks on which too many phones can work. iPhone 12 will be compatible with the vast majority of 5G networks around the globe if it is launched with the connectivity that the Asian analyst is now announcing, but everything also depends on the possibility of implementation, or the associated costs to offer this big change.
Having said that, in order to use 5G in the iPhone we will have to wait at least one more year, so patience is still needed for the fans.
