Practically speaking I need those speeds in my iPhone about as much as I need a smaller battery.
Anyone here that actually have a legit reason for such a speedy iPhone?
What’s more important is the carrier aggregation and power efficiency.
Apple’s timing is off with Qualcomm on modems, so this year’s iPhone would always have the tail end of the “previous” gen modem. It’s also why Samsung releases their phones in the early part of the year, so they can get first dip in the latest Qualcomm SoC (and the latest gen modem) at the first round.
Luckily, seems like majority of the improvements will be on the X60 modem. The X65 seems more minor, compared to the X55 to X60.
Weeeeeeeell… it's not quite that simple.Higher Speed downloading equals lower energy for the same amount of Data transferred.
well, you'd be surprised to know how little data you actually consume for most of the time.We’ve consumed the same amount of data online since the 90s. All of these speed increases are such a waste.

i doubt. stuff can be produced on device far easier and far more scalable way compared to any streaming service. plus the latency it'd need to get to you would make you vomit due to sensory disorientation. that is the biggest empty claim of the 5G believers.So, this is about preparing for future directions (especially VR/AR)
IDK where your getting your information from but most of the world is NOT stuck on crappy 3G or 4G. Billions of people across the globe have access to very fast mobile networks.
Try East Asia. Best networks and coverages in the world.From real life and real people. If you're relying on coverage maps, I suggest you throw those into a bin and set them on fire, they do not represent reality in any shape or form. According to coverage maps I get 4G in the middle of Dublin, and that's true. Speed however... on average 5Mbps. And I have travelled enough around to know the spottiness of 3G and 4G is fairly consistent across Europe and US for example. I had entire sections of the US where there was no signal at all, and then I had sections of Romania for example that had 38Mbps on 3G! So yeah, back to what I was saying, let's make bandwidth consistently decent across the globe, before boasting about 10Gbps connections.
"The modem has many other benefits, too, including improved power efficiency, enhanced coverage for both mmWave and sub-6 GHz bands, and support for all global commercialized mmWave frequencies"Practically speaking I need those speeds in my iPhone about as much as I need a smaller battery.

What’s so innovative about a faster modem anyway?Hmm.... I can already imagine it now..
