While the iPhone 12 lineup is expected to introduce 5G to the world of Apple phones, a new report suggests that only one model will support the fastest spectrum.
Apple is set to launch four iPhone 12 models later this year. According to the last report, the launch could be in October. While the models that are expected to be launched are iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max; All four models will have a 5.4-inch screen size, two 6.1-inch models and a 6.7-inch high-end model (probably the ‘Pro Max’ option).

The last report by Fast company It suggests that only the 6.7-inch model will support the fastest millimeter wave type of 5G wireless service. On the other hand, the other three models will carry the most common 5G Sub-6 type of service. To explain the difference, the portal said that while “Sub-6 5G is a Camry, the millimeter wave 5G is a Mercedes S-Class.” While the mmWave variant offers great speeds, exceeding 1 gigabit per second, its range is less. Therefore, operators would have to install more towers to make it widely available.
The report citing “a wireless industry source” also said that mmWave 5G will be offered in three countries: the United States, South Korea and Japan.
The reason behind the adaptation is that only the largest phone in the line will have room to accommodate the “special antenna design” required for the 5G millimeter wave setup. This configuration will also require a larger battery to compensate for the “significant power draw” of the mmWave, which is again available on the larger model.
However, as Apple Insider Points outThere are already devices smaller than the upcoming 6.67-inch phone that support millimeter wave 5G, such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 (5.78-inch).
