The Mui Board will support mmWave sleep tracking and gesture control using third-party sensors.

What is the difference between sub-6 GHz 5G and mmWave 5G networks? Which fifth-generation network specification is better?

Apple is developing a "refreshed" version of its C1 modem for mass production next year that will improve power consumption and transmission speed, as well as bring support for mmWave, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a post on X…

Radio-frequency switches made from two-dimensional layered hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) were co-integrated on gallium nitride (GaN) microchips to build programmable millimetre-wave (mmWave) monolithic microwave integrated circuits suitable for 6G hardware.

They aren’t cheap, but they can turn on or off when you get near them.

The new iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max continue to offer mmWave 5G connectivity in the United States, but the faster 5G speeds have not yet expanded to other countries. Outside of the U.S., the new iPhone models are limited to sub-6GHz 5G. mmWave 5G has been exclusive to the United States since 5G connectivity launched in the ‌iPhone‌ 12. Other countries have been slower to adopt mmWave 5G, but it is becoming more widely available in countries like Australia, China, South Korea, Japan, and Europe. The higher frequency mmWave spectrum is not as practical as lower and mid-band 5G spectrum because of its limited range. It's expensive for carriers to build mmWave networks, and it is expensive for Apple to offer the hardware to connect to those networks. Carriers don't have motivation for faster 5G when devices don't support it, and Apple doesn't see the need to roll out mmWave support in countries where adoption is low. mmWave offers the fastest 5G speeds, but it primarily makes sense for big cities and crowded locations like concert venues, stadiums, and airports. It is short range, and cannot penetrate obstacles like sub-6GHz 5G can. Sub-6GHz is more widely adopted because it works in cities, suburban areas, and rural locations. Unless something changes with 5G adoption and rollout, it's not likely that Apple's stance on mmWave 5G availability is going to change. In fact, the M4 iPad Pro models eliminated mmWave 5G support entirely, and Apple opted for 5G modems that only support sub-6GHz spectrum. Because the ‌iPhone‌ Air has Apple's custom-designed C1X modem, it also does not support mmWave 5G. Like the C1, the C1X is only compatible with sub-6GHz 5G. The other ‌iPhone 17‌ models use Qualcomm modems and in the U.S., can use mmWave spectrum on networks that offer it.

The iPhone 17 Slim won't have a SIM card tray because it is too thin to have one, and it probably won't have mmWave either.

Apple achieved a major milestone yesterday, when it launched an iPhone with its own in-house modem instead of a Qualcomm one: the C1 chip. This has been a key goal for the company for a great many years for two reasons, so finally ticking the box is a…

Apple’s first modem, the C1 chip, had one notable omission: there’s no support for mmWave 5G, the ultra-fast variant of 5G. While I expressed my view at the time that this was no big deal, given that there’s been very limited rollout by carriers, it…

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup today, and the new iPhone 17 Pro models include an interesting new design quirk that the company just got rid of with the iPhone 16 lineup: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough. This time though, it’s on the top of the phone. more…

iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models in the U.S. feature an antenna window on the top edge of the devices, for mmWave 5G signals to pass through. The standard iPhone 17 does not appear to have the antenna window, while the iPhone Air does not support mmWave 5G, so it is not on that device either. All of the iPhone 12 through iPhone 15 models are outfitted with this antenna window, which is made of glass. However, it was not present on any of the iPhone 16 models, which were the first devices to feature the Camera Control button on the bottom-right edge, where the mmWave 5G antenna window was previously located. iPhone 17 Pro models have a new design with an aluminum unibody, but radio signals cannot pass through metal. The reintroduced antenna window, which likely remains made of glass or perhaps a tougher Ceramic Shield material, allows for mmWave 5G signals to better pass through the frame of the devices for cellular connectivity. iPhones sold outside of the U.S. lack mmWave 5G support altogether, so the antenna window is not present on any models sold in other countries. mmWave is a set of 5G frequencies that promise ultra-fast speeds at short distances, which is ideal for dense urban areas. By comparison, sub-6GHz 5G is generally slower than mmWave, but the signals travel further, better serving suburban and rural areas.Related Roundup: iPhone 17 ProTag: 5GBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17 Pro (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhone This article, "Apple Reintroduces mmWave 5G Antenna Window on iPhone 17 Pro Models in U.S." first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
