In 2020 many more devices will be compatible with 5G technology. This technology has been delayed in some cases, such as Apple, due to delays in the development of technology for its products. However, there are already suppliers of components necessary for the assembly of the iPhone with 5G technology that rub their hands facing a 2020 full of orders. It is expected that several Apple products will carry this technology, such as the iPhone 12, which will be presented in September 2020, with which it will be possible to navigate at speeds above 800 Mb / s.
Technological advances around 5G will generate many benefits
Mobile devices have an interior full of components that provide them with energy stability and the ability to do everything we see in software. However, the inclusion of new technologies. makes the hardware advance in parallel. This is the case of the integration of 5G technology. The iPhone will have to modify its components to adapt to the new requirements of this network.
One of the essential components is the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) designed on chip and present in almost most devices. Using 5G technology implies using a 30% more MLCC than with 4G technology. These components are made up of a large number of individual capacitors stacked on top of each other. In addition, they are connected in a parallel circuit allowing energy to be stored while maintaining the electrical charge inside the device.
One of the Suppliers Apple of this component is Taiyo Yuden Co. and for a few months they have been working with enormous growth forecasts due to the interest of these components by large technology companies in the world and one of them is Apple. The latest reports suggest that the iPhone 12 could have the most advanced 5G chip on the market. Therefore its components would go hand in hand. We will see if the big apple finally places huge orders for MLCC from Taiyo Yuden or if, on the contrary, it prefers to choose other suppliers to guarantee the large number of them that it will acquire during 2020.
