iPhone 14 Pro Faster modem? iPhone 13 Pro vs 14 pro

[syphern]

Hi I’m wondering about only one thing how much better the modem is in the iPhone 13 Pro vs 14 pro? I’m going on a trip where I’ll use it to tether my data.

Thanks.

It's not yet confirmed one way or the other, but it looks like probably it is the same modem as the 13 Pro.

I stand corrected. I hadn't seen the teardown yet -- crazy that we got a teardown before the device even shipped this year!

Looking at the spec sheet, there are improvements for mmWave (which IMHO are meaningless because there's almost no mmWave coverage nationwide), and the sub-6 capacity has gone from 200MHz to 300MHz, and a few more bands... Will be interesting to see what if any difference it makes. I'd personally expect it to be a marginal improvement for performance.

It has also moved from a 5nm to a 4nm process, so likely there will be a power consumption improvement, which is always nice -- but at the same time, the 13 Pro Max already had insanely long battery life.
