New phones run on Apple custom chip that company calls the fastest yet for a smartphone
Apple Inc. is bringing 5G capabilities to its entire lineup of new smartphones, and keeping the starting prices the same as last years iPhones.
The company rolled out four new iPhone 12 devices during a virtual event Tuesday, focusing on camera improvements as well as applications that could be enhanced by 5G. All four of Apples AAPL, -2.65% new phones will work with sub-6G 5G, while U.S. phones will be compatible with millimeter-wave 5G.
While sub-6 5G is more widely available, it offers a less dramatic step up in speed and lag times relative to the 4G networks that consumers have become accustomed to in recent years. Millimeter-wave 5G delivers a bigger speed boost but its use cases are more limited to dense urban areas. The phones will have smart data modes that determine when to use 5G based on various factors like data usage and battery life.

Apples new iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature three cameras meant to deliver better photography capabilities. These phones will have an ultrawide camera, a telephoto camera, and a new wide camera that the company said will improve pictures taken in lowlight and bright environments. The telephoto camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a longer focal length. Both of these models come with a LIDAR sensor, which Apple said will enhance lowlight photos as well as create better opportunities in augmented reality due to its depth-sensing capabilities.

Higher the bandwidth,shorter the distance always. It affects fiber the least (Speed of light) but it’s still there.
‘Higher the bandwidth,shorter the distance always. It affects fiber the least (Speed of light) but its still there.”
Does this mean you are still sticking with your false post that there are no 5G networks?
“Higher the bandwidth,shorter the distance always.”
Do you mean frequency?
“It affects fiber the least (Speed of light) but its still there.”
COAX signals travel 30% faster than fiberoptic signals!
Always? This fiber optics chart says otherwise!
What chart? Are you an engineer? I worked on this crap for 40 yrs and I’m getting this deja vu like I’m talking to one.

Yes. The Air is great - and Im keeping my iPhone X for at least another year. I dont find the iPhone 12 compelling enough - maybe the 13 will be.
After the great advice from Swordmaker and Sheana on this thread, I too am keeping my iPhone X and have just ordered a 4th Generation Air, picking it up at 2:15PM on the 23rd.
Thanks for the affirmation and good luck with yours.
