Only the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max has enough room to fit the extra antennas that are needed to handle the high-frequency signal (26-28 GHz) That's not all either, mmWave reportedly has a higher power draw, so the smaller battery of the non-Max model won't cut it. The payoff for all this trouble is a very fast connection – gigabit speeds or higher, at least...

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:22 PM PDT

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:52 PM PDT
