Much criticized Apple for not incorporating 5G chips in the current models of iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max this year and it is that users no longer change as much smartphone as before so having a chip with 5G in the inside of a current device it is important if you want to last a few years with him.
Obviously Apple wanted to have this 5G on your iPhone or so we want to believe, so it is already moving so as not to fail in the following iPhone. In this case, it is a matter of adding the Qualcomm X55 chip in the 202nd iPhone and everything seems already decided according to what they say in the well-known medium Asian Nikkei.
This Qualcomm X55 modem is the successor to the current X55 model and will be implemented according to this report in all the iPhones that Apple launches next year, the 5,4-inch, 6,1 and 6,7-inch models . As we see in this Nikkei report the speeds They will range between 7 Gb / s download and 3 Gb / s upload, so it's not bad at all. Logically Apple wants to have its own modems on its devices but as already commented in other articles, these will arrive later, they are expected for approximately 2022.
For now everything is quite complicated with 5G connectivity, it is not something that we have really well implemented this year and it will take a while to do so so it is not essential that your iPhone carries this modem to connect to 5G right now. It is also true that it is always better to take it but as you well know litigation between Qualcomm and Apple delayed its implementation in the computers and now it will be time to wait for the next version of the iPhone itself to see it placed inside.
