A few days before its official release, the iPhone 12 is once again in the news. This time, it is therefore information on its modem - which should make it the first Apple device compatible with the standard succeeding 4G - which reaches us from the United States, without however being able to validate with insurance thesehypotheses.
Fast Companythus states thatonly the iPhone 12 Pro Maxwould be entitled to 5G waves called “mmWave”. As a reminder,these are faster than frequency bands below 6 GHz but their range is less. Furthermore, not all countries could benefit from it.
What consequences for us?
Indeed, according to the magazine, only Japan, the United States and South Korea could buy the iPhone 12 Pro Max equipped with the fastest 5G, but also classic 5G. InFrance, on the other hand, we would only be entitled to the iPhone 12 Pro Max whose speeds are less rapid, which also remains a guess at this time. But2021 could be a game changer.
However, this probably won't be a problem for most mainstream users because basic 5G is already particularly fast and can achieve speeds in the giga per second range. Your streaming sessions on Netflix orApple TV+So shouldn't complain about it.
