For most people in the emerging market, their smartphone is their only, and often times, first, ever computer. With the new normal of everything long distance (learning, working, etc), the phone has become the primary all in one computer for many.
Only if you've got slow data now that you are literally waiting for. Less waiting allows you to do more, so more data will be used in that case. Most people now on 4G are not waiting. You can't watch a movie faster or listen to an album faster. You can browse only as fast as you can read. I don't see how having some ridiculous 10Gbps speed will consume significantly more data on a phone.
Actually what I need is to disable the mmWave antenna to avoid an excessive battery drain. With the speeds of regular sub-6 5G I have more than enough.
You're right...someone does need it. There surely is ONE PERSON, SOMEWHERE, that needs it. Therefore, let's spend a bazillion dollars on upgrading the towers and sell users millions of phones on the marketing premise that they NEED THIS.
What is actually important as some acknowledged is:
Or downloading video that you will watch hour in 5 seconds.I crapped on your comment, not QC. And, sorry, but your "Apple fan" accusation doesn't apply, as the QC chip can just as easily be found in an Android phone. What I said has nothing to do with brand.
Even at home, 10 Gigabit is more than anyone needs (that's 1 GB of data in less than a second). I'd rather see 1 Gigabit reach every spot in the country than a continued push for higher speeds in just a few areas.
Because the future is different than today. We won’t just be surfing the internet and checking email with our connections. You have to build infrastructure and devices ready for that.
I agree that for iOS 13.5 it is completely overkill but If Apple expands iOS to eat into Mac OS it may make sense. Imagine a doc for an iPhone with an external monitor(s), keyboard and mouse. It would be great to get rid of my laptops and just buy a dock or two for my phone.
So because you don’t need more speed or bandwidth. No one else does. Got it. Why does it bother you what QC spends their money on? I’m sure Apple spends lots developing tech for our iPhones
I love to see that happen. Too many of us pay too much for slower speed connectivity with data caps compared to other countries. Still it’s interesting to see how technology progresses.
This modem isn't going to launch until 1H22, presumably with the S22 series. When Apple released the iPhone 12, it had the newest modem available. iPhones always drop in 3/4Q. The iPhone and Qualcomm's modems are on different release schedules, so Apple will always feel 'behind'.
