  • Apple reportedly delays launch event for new 5G iPhones

    Apple is losing the 5G race | Ad Age

    Apple is reportedly delaying a fall launch event for its next batch of
    iPhones to the “latter half of October.” The tech giant was forced to push
    back its traditional September keynote address due to production delays
    caused by the coronavirus. Apple is now on track to release its 5G iPhones
    just in time for the all-important holiday season. Apple is expected to
    announce four new iPhones at the fall event, with the 5G models not
    hitting stores until November, while the lower-end LTE phones will be
    available to customers shortly following the keynote. The iPhone 12 line
    faced delays due to “practical hurdles” caused by the coronavirus.

  • ‘iPhone 13’ may offer single 5G band and not both

    Forget the Apple iPhone 12, everyone's talking about the iPhone 13 ...

    Apple’s 2021 “iPhone 13” models may not include support for both highband and low-band 5G connectivity, with the future models potentially
    shipping with compatibility for either the extremely fast mmWave or the
    more resilient sub-6GHz spectrum. Apple’s 2020 iPhone models will
    include 5G support, with the “iPhone 12” range expected to use 5G
    modems sourced from Qualcomm. But while speculation for the inbound
    iPhone generation is intensifying, some attention is being turned to the
    2021 model, plausibly called the “iPhone 13.” Apple is considering the
    possibility of producing a version of the iPhone using a single 5G band.
    While the iPhone 12 collection is anticipated to work with both sub-6GHz
    signal as well as mmWave, giving customers the full usage of 5G, Apple is
    entertaining the thought of including support of one or the other “for
    specific markets.”
