Now time (2065438+June 2009) iPhone 8 series and above supports 5G. This news is false! The current iPhone Xs and any version of iPhone Xs Max do not support 5G networks. Don't listen to the marketing words of bad businesses!
This message was updated from iOS 12.2, and found in&; Judging from T-Net's description of iPhone model upgrade, some businesses that don't understand 5G and deliberately use it as a selling point to attract small white users will focus their marketing firepower on 5G! Because 5G is popular immediately, upgrading is a more appropriate way for some small white users who don't want to change their 4G phones. But still the answer, the current iPhone (2065438+June 2009) still does not support 5G.
However, there are still bright spots in the last 5 G.
Because you want to support 5G, there are base stations around you that send out 5G signals, which is the premise of using 5G. Secondly, your mobile phone needs an antenna to receive 5G signals. If you want to use 5G, it is a multi-faceted collaboration, in which hardware is the major premise, so now mobile phones can't use 5G networks!
In fact, this is an operator's sales strategy or a gimmick to occupy 5G technology. Among them, 5G E is actually a 4G+, and the network speed is indeed faster than 4G, but it is still far from the real 5G in essence!
Having said that, 5G technology seems to be a little far from our lives, but it is not far away! Now many mobile phone manufacturers have launched a 5G experience version of the mobile phone. Of course, it takes a little money to be the first person to eat crabs!
There is nothing wrong. Samsung S 10 already has a 5G model, and the price is relatively high, but this model is still greatly improved compared with the ordinary version S 10!
This Samsung S 10 5G not only supports 5G network, but also has a larger screen (S 10+6.4-inch screen, Samsung S 10 5G screen size is 6.7 inches) and a larger battery (Samsung S 10+ is equipped with 4 100 Samsung). The rear camera is upgraded from the rear three cameras of Samsung S 10+ to the rear four cameras, in which the TOF depth-of-field camera is added. This version of the car is only in the Korean version, but not in China for the time being. Below is the configuration diagram for your reference.
5G technology seems to come earlier than our prediction and will be launched in the first quarter of 2020. Friends who want to change their 5G mobile phones can wait, because the first batch of crabs are not very good!
After the upgrade of iOS 12.2, some merchants selling the US version of iPhone8 told buyers that all models above iPhone8 can support 5G when they are upgraded to iOS 12.2, and claimed that the later models above iPhone8 can support 5G networks as long as they upgrade their systems, but the Bank of China version does not! This statement really attracts some ignorant consumers. But is this really the case?
There is a passage in the description of iOS 12.2: iPhone 8 and later models will display "5E" icon, indicating that AT& is available; T 5G evolution network
If we don't look carefully, we don't even know what this means. However, if you look closely, you will find that its so-called "5E" icon is not a 5G network, but at & amp； T 5G evolution, what kind of network is this? This is at & amp； In order to enter the field of 5G network in advance, T lied that he had entered the 5G network, so he changed the icon of his 4G network to 5E, which was actually improved on the basis of 4G network technology, although at & amp； T claims that 5G E is faster than 4G network:
However, it's just faster than its own 4G network, and much faster than other operators such as Verizon or T-Mobile.
This update of iPhone is actually to meet the needs of operators. In fact, it is still a 4G network. The so-called icon is just to cater to AT &；; T's demand.
How to support the hardware if it is not supported? Think about it.
However, it is not impossible for the old equipment to support 5G. The easiest way is to buy a 5 G portable wifi (a micro wireless router with a 5 G card) and connect this WIFI directly. Not limited to devices, IPAD, mobile phone and computer. . But then again, just like 4Gwifi, there is no traffic limit and the price is very important. .
However, judging from the current limelight, neither Huawei nor China Mobile Telecom Unicom means to make 5g cheap, that is, they are all waiting to be cut by 5G, so it is obviously impossible for 5G portable WIFI to be cheap.
Recently, some media reported that models above iPhone 8 support 5G networks, especially after updating the iOS 12.2 system, some American models above iPhone 8 display 5G on network signals. Is it true that iPhone 8 and above models support 5G?
After the upgrade of iOS 12.2 system, some bosses who do the US version of iPhone business seized the gimmick, and some media followed suit. "Models above iPhone 8 can support 5G when upgraded to iOS 12.2, and later models above iPhone 8 can support 5G networks as long as the system is upgraded, but the version of the Bank of China does not." Does everyone understand this? So is the media hype true?
There is a passage in the description of iOS 12.2: iPhone 8 and later models will display "5E" icon, indicating that AT& is available; T 5G evolution network
I have reported news about 5G several times before, and I believe fans should understand that all this is a rumor. 5G networks need hardware support to be used. At present, all models released on the market do not support 5G, and Apple will not release 5G iPhone until 2020. So don't be fooled by fans. Don't believe that some media have bought the American version of iPhone.
In addition, the three major operators have confirmed that according to the existing plans, "Qingdao, Beijing, Tianjin, Xiong 'an, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Guiyang, Wuhan, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Lanzhou" will start the coverage of 5G signals in this 18 city within three months.
Let's wait and see. If you change your mobile phone to 5g, give it to the rich first. Anyway, I'm very, very poor, oy
So far, none of Apple's mobile phones above 8 can support 5G, or it can be said that no Apple mobile phone can or plans to support 5G.
On April 2019 17, many people woke up and were shocked by two pieces of news.
The first message
Just when everyone thought that Apple Mobile and Qualcomm could not reach a settlement in a short time and were ready to continue watching the drama, Apple Mobile and Qualcomm reached a settlement on the patent licensing dispute, and Apple repaid the arrears in the past few years and signed a cooperation agreement with Qualcomm for the next six years.
As shown in the above figure, the latest settlement agreement includes that Apple Mobile and Qualcomm have reached a six-year direct patent licensing agreement (20 1 which came into effect in April of 9,1), and Apple Mobile must also pay the patent licensing fee to Qualcomm, with a two-year extension option. In fact, it's hard enough here, that is, Apple must pay Qualcomm the patent licensing fee that has been in arrears for the past two years. In 20 17, the sales volume of apples was 223 million units, and it dropped to 208 million units in 20 18, adding up to more than 430 million units in these two years. According to previous calculations, Apple has to pay Qualcomm $7.5 per mobile phone, which means that Apple has to pay Qualcomm $3 billion first.
The second message
Just as Qualcomm reached a settlement and announced its further deep cooperation, just a few hours later, Intel also announced its withdrawal from the 5G smartphone modem business. As Intel CEO Borui said, for the mobile phone modem business, there is no clear way for Intel to make a profit and get a return without Apple's mobile phone. At this time, it is a wise or even a last resort decision.
When Apple was tired of Qualcomm's high patent licensing fees, it began to choose to cooperate with Intel. Last year, all Apple phones were replaced by Intel's baseband chips, and the pie falling from the sky just hit Intel. This time, Apple's mobile phone shook hands with Qualcomm, not only reached an agreement on money, but also dropped all lawsuits worldwide. You know that Qualcomm and Apple have conducted more than 50 judicial proceedings in 16 jurisdictions in at least six countries in the past two years. It seems that what money can solve is really nothing.
Those things that Apple lacks "core"
Apple released the first generation of Apple phones in 2007, when it only supported 2G networks. Until the release of the iPhone XS/XS Max's 4G full netcom mobile phone last year, Infineon, Qualcomm and Intel used baseband chips. Apple has always used outsourcing baseband chips to meet its own needs, so it is fake that Apple's mobile phones above 8 support 5 G.
As shown in the above figure, the hardware architecture diagram of any mobile phone is similar, including baseband chip, transceiver, RF front-end device and antenna, which are highly coupled with the frequency band regardless of the network mode. As we all know, the most important part of these devices belongs to the baseband chip. For example, the baseband chip used by the latest Apple mobile phone at this stage is Intel XMM7560, which determines that the current Apple mobile phone can only support 4G.
Perhaps even Apple didn't expect the fierce competition in the mobile phone industry and the rapid reshuffle, as did the competition in the mobile phone baseband chip factory. Looking at the transformation process from 3G to 4G, many international manufacturers have withdrawn from the market, such as Broadcom, TI, Marville and NVIDIA. The old traditional manufacturers are dying out, but nothing new has appeared in this industry.
As shown in the above figure, there are only six manufacturers that can continue to play in the 5G mobile phone baseband chip market, including Qualcomm, Huawei, MTK, Samsung, Ziguang Zhanrui and Intel. Moreover, as the exclusive baseband chip provider of the previous generation of Apple mobile phones, the baseband chip business of Apple's 5G mobile phones is definitely in Intel's pocket.
However, it seems that Intel's development of 5G baseband chips is not smooth. The relatively lagging delivery time of XMM8 160 can no longer guarantee that Apple will launch a 5G mobile phone at the press conference next autumn, which makes Apple's mobile phone very passive in the smart phone market with such fierce competition.
The seriousness of Apple's lack of "core" has been magnified more and more seriously with the arrival of 5G, so that many netizens and media began to be dumb. For example, Apple does not rule out cooperation with MTK, but Apple wants to cooperate with Samsung but it is rejected. There is even news that Apple will cooperate with Huawei. Even more amazing is that Huawei also publicly responded to this matter, making this rumor even more bloody.
It is reasonable for Apple and Qualcomm to reach a settlement.
In order to solve the problem of 5G baseband chips, Apple and Qualcomm reached a new settlement. Even if apple loses face, it will lose its lining, but it is really rational for apple.
At present, there are only three manufacturers that can mass-produce 5G baseband chips in the market, namely Qualcomm, Huawei and Samsung. In order not to delay the new product launch next autumn, which of the three manufacturers will supply Apple with 5G baseband chips? Qualcomm is obviously the only one.
Apple and Huawei, whether in the chip industry or the mobile phone market, will be absolute hard rivals, and there is no room for concession. In addition, the US government must not tolerate an American company or a company like Apple using Huawei's 5G chips, which violates the current global strategy of the United States to contain Huawei's 5G technology.
Apple and Samsung, similar to Apple and Huawei, have no obstacles except at the government level.
Apple and Qualcomm, to put it bluntly, are all caused by money. Facts have proved that money can temporarily forget the grievances of the two families. Apple and Qualcomm have worked together, and both are American companies. The most important thing is that their products do not intersect but complement each other perfectly, which is doomed. To solve the current urgent need, Apple must bow to Qualcomm.
To sum up, Apple is a company without its own baseband chip. The existing mobile phone can support 4G network at most, but not 5G. As mentioned earlier, Apple has just negotiated with Qualcomm about the supply of 5G baseband chips, and it is expected that there will be an Apple mobile phone supporting 5G next autumn.
Thanks for reading! If there is anything wrong, please point out. If you feel ok, please leave your praise and attention. Thanks again.
Teacher Bo clearly told everyone that this information is wrong, and the current iPhone does not support 5G!
When the US version of Apple's mobile phone is upgraded to 12.2 system, 5G E will be displayed.
First of all, this incorrect information is only for the American version of ATT operator's Apple mobile phone. The previous Apple iOS system update did have an update description of the 5G signal display, but this is just a display, or an ordinary 4G mode!
ATT, the full name of "5G E" is "5Evolution", which means 5Evolution. Using the technology of "carrier aggregation", combining multiple 4G frequency bands, and improving the network speed of 4G, the theoretical downlink speed can reach 300Mbps, which is essentially a 4G network. For this kind of transitional marketing, it will only hurt its own users in the end. Teacher Bo expressed strong disgust.
Up to now, the 20 18 Apple mobile phone does not support 5G because there is no 5G baseband.
Everyone should know that at present, Apple is still in a backward position in the promotion of 5G. From reconciliation with Qualcomm, the cancellation of Intel's business, and the acquisition of Intel's 5G R&D department, there has been quite a stir. However, it is estimated that by 2020, all genuine baseband apples will basically not have 5G mobile phones in the near 1 year!
First of all, it is not reliable. It's fake!
The prerequisite for mobile phones to support the use of 5G networks is that the hardware of mobile phones must first support 5G (that is, 5G baseband chips). So far, all iPhones do not support 5G in hardware.
Apple does not have the ability to independently develop 5G chips. It had a fierce dispute with Qualcomm on the contract of 5G chips before, and just reached a settlement last week. At present, there are no 5G chips in mobile phones on the market. Apple's mobile phone uploaded online shows the "5G E" icon after upgrading, but the operator has accelerated the 4G network, which is not a 5G network at all.
Not iPhone8 or above supports 5g, but supports word games displayed as "5E" and played by operators. I still remember that some time ago, an American operator deceived users and secretly changed the name of the 4G network to "5E", giving users the illusion that "I am using 5G". In fact, the network has not changed at all.
Support 5G display. It is estimated that at most, it is to detect nearby 5G networks and then disappear into the signal grid. You are still using the 4G network.
At present, Apple's existing models do not support the 5G band, and the 5G version of the iPhone will not be officially launched until 2020 at the earliest;
With regard to 5G, China is still in the initial stage of commercialization of 5G, and the real commercialization of 5G still needs a long time of R&D and testing.
According to American media reports, Apple has been approved by the US government to conduct a small-scale communication experiment of 5G equipment, which uses two radio frequency bands, 28Ghz and 39GHz, in two places near Mill Pittas, California.
