5G on the iPhone was late but it finally became real last year. But this has come with numerous criticisms due to the poor infrastructure implementation that exists today. Although, Apple continues to look for the best providers to be able to have good hardware and Qualcomm poses as the best for the year 2022 with its recently introduced 5G modem. We tell you all the details below.
This is how Qualcomm would improve the connectivity of the iPhone 2022
Qualcomm recently introduced the first modem and antenna system that is capable of accepting 10 Gigabit 5G connectivity . This has been baptized as Snapdragon X65 and has come to revolutionize the mobile phone industry. That is why this technology could be involved with the iPhone of 2022. And to the question of why it is not implemented this year, the answer is that it would not give time. Apple does not agree with suppliers to supply components overnight before the presentation of the device, but they are already practically preparing for assembly. That is why we must wait until next year so that we can see this improvement in the 5G of the iPhone.
This modem would mean that the download speeds on the 2022 iPhone would improve substantially. Although, as is assumed, that speed of 10 GB per second will rarely be achieved , but they will improve the speed in general to what we have today. Although speed is not the only relevant thing in this Snapdragon X65 since energy efficiency also plays a fundamental role. Different studies have been seen where the iPhone battery is significantly compromised if 5G connectivity is used. With this modem it would be possible to suffer much less in regard to autonomy by lengthening it.
For people who are lucky enough to enjoy the mmWave and sub-6GHz bands, they should know that with this modem they can be used at the same time. This makes connectivity go much further using the best that each of the bands has . The only problem is that right now these bands are very limited to their presence only in the United States. We do not know if it will reach more countries in the future, but this is where it will be necessary to look at the teleoperators and the implementation of the necessary structure.
The disputes between Apple and Qualcomm
It was hard to believe, but it is possible to talk about these two companies beyond the legal field. We must remember that not so many years ago both companies were embroiled in a great legal dispute over patents. After the signing of ‘la paz’ at the end we see how both collaborate mutually and this is something very positive for the user. After all, after this agreement, we are seeing Qualcomm technologies being implemented in the iPhone that offer greater speed and also better technological efficiency.
Nor should we forget that Apple itself was developing a new 5G modem itself. This is something that at the moment has not been discussed at all since it is surely developing in a process that is not at all simple. That is why until that day comes the options that arise are of very good quality.
