Does anyone know which modem we are getting in the iPhone 17 pro max? I heard Apple’s C1 custom modem will only be going in the 17 Air.
Got a tip for us?

Just want the modem to catch signals as good as my Samsung S24 Ultra. That is the reason why I ditched my iPhone for a Samsung 24Ultra.
We were supposed to get the X75 in the 16 Pro but Apple decided to put in a slower cut down version X71 instead. They wanted to make there new C1 custom modem look very good compared to Qualcomm.
The 17 Pro Max will probably be the last Qualcomm iPhone so grab one. The 18 Pro Max will probably have the C2 custom modem from Apple that has the MmWave.
The Qualcomm X80 has the new feature of fast 5G speeds even with low cell signal 📶 with like 1 or 2 bars. I hope 🤞 it will be the X80 in the 17 Pro Max, but you never know with Apple and cost cutting.
