Coming from an iPhone 6S things have definitely improved, but likely for me it’s the band 71 support.
X60 is apparently confirmed. https://www.gsmarena.com/iphone_13_...tery_and_qualcomm_x60_5g_modem-news-51121.php
Sub 6GHz and mmWave aggregation is a huge benefit of the X60 - something that offers huge real world gains.
The part I find strange is no mention from Apple regarding VoNR support which is supported in the X60.
I find that hard to believe given the improvements going from the X55 to X60.
See. There’s two parts to this equation. One is the carrier and the other is your phone. They have to play nice with each other to get improved speeds like say be near a 5G UWB area etc. not demeaning but it’s the truth.
Looking forward to Ifixits tear down to see if it also includes the QTM535 mmWave antenna modules.
I really hope Apple introduce VoNR in a firmware upgrade as it’s really important going forward towards 5G SA.
