Apple iPhone 12 pro max only to have mmWave 5G.

Apple’s adoption of 5G is proving difficult – a wireless industry source told Fast Company that just one iPhone 12 model will support mmWave 5G. Previous reports claimed that both Pro models will have mmWave feature.

Not so, says the insider. Only the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max has enough room to suit the additional antennas that are needed to handle the high-frequency signal (26-28 GHz) That’s not all either, mmWave reportedly features a higher power draw, therefore the smaller battery of the non-Max model won’t cut it.

The payoff for all this trouble may be a in no time connection – gigabit speeds or higher, a minimum of theoretically, many megabits in practice. All iPhone 12 models (even the non-Pro ones) will support sub-6 5G (you can learn more about the 2 flavors of 5Ghere).

Anyway, mmWave is tough and most countries don’t have operational networks yet – which is why only the US, South Korea and Japan are going to be getting the mmWave model, adds the insider. Other regions will receive a sub-6 version of the phone instead of mmWave model.

Earlier reports claimed that Apple was two months not on time with the event of its mmWave iPhones. the corporate is predicted to announce the new smartphones in October and it’s quite possible that the professional Max with mmWave will come at a later date.
