Michal Marek The new generation of the iPhone, with the probable designation 6S, which should see the light of day classically in September, would apparently it was not supposed to bring any design changes. However, the internals of the new phone from Apple will of course receive improvements. Server 9to5mac brought a photo of the motherboard of the iPhone 6S prototype, and from that you can read what kind of improvement it should be.
The picture shows a new LTE chip from Qualcomm labeled MDM9635M inside the upcoming iPhone. This is also known as "9X35" Gobi and compared to its predecessor "9X25", which we know from the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, theoretically offers up to twice the download speed via LTE. To be specific, the new chip is supposed to offer a download speed of up to 300 Mb per second, which is twice the speed of the current "9X25" chip. However, the upload speed of the new chip remains at 50 Mb per second, and given the maturity of mobile networks, in practice, even downloads will probably not exceed 225 Mb per second.
However, according to Qualcomm, the big advantage of the new chip is energy efficiency. This could cause a significant increase in the battery life of the upcoming iPhone when using LTE. In theory, the iPhone 6S could also fit a larger battery, since the entire motherboard of the prototype is slightly smaller. The new chip is manufactured using 20nm technology instead of the 29nm technology used in the production of the older "9X25" chip. In addition to lower chip consumption, the new production process also prevents its overheating during intensive work with data.
So we certainly have a lot to look forward to in September. We should wait for an iPhone that will be more economical thanks to a faster LTE chip and will allow applications that work with data to run faster. In addition, there is also talk that the iPhone 6S could have a display with Force Touch technology, which we know from the Apple Watch. It should thus be possible to control the iPhone using touches with two different intensities.
Speed in MB or Mb…?
Of course in Mb, thanks for the heads up, fixed.
SUPER-CERTAINLY THERE WILL BE A 12MPIX ALESPON PHOTO. IT WILL BE A HIGH TECH PHONE WHEN 2 YEARS AGO, NOKIA MADE A 41 MPIX
EPL WANTS TO BE ROLLS AND THE CROWD TO GET THE PARTS FROM THE PUMP….
Only a fool like you thinks that more pixels, better photo quality.
Exactly, it's just disgusting marketing, quality comes last, especially in reviews and writing 41Mpx on the box!!!
agree, at one time camera owners heard this and chose cameras based on the number of pixels, but I think the market has stabilized and consumers have come to their senses and started to deal with the really important features and not to chase the Mpx size
Why do many people still think that the quality of photos is determined by the number of pixels ??? The result is just a huge photo that is out of focus and takes up a lot of space unnecessarily. Almost no one uses even the current 8 Mpx, do you normally take A4 photos from iPhones? Even for SLR cameras with top optics, 41 Mpx makes no sense! Let them give better optics, stabilization, better algorithms, but above all not more Mpx!
– partly true, for a smaller number of pixels the photo will definitely be of better quality (if the same technology and sensor size are used)
– but the photo from the iPhone has a resolution of only 3264×2448, the 4k monitor has a resolution of 3840×2160
– when you crop the photo (if you are editing) the size will be reduced even more and when you expand the monitor not all the way you will get a worse number of pixels in the photo than your new expensive 4k monitor can handle
However, I would expect some real news. Force touch + evolutionary changes are few.
What's the use of 300/50Mb speeds for me when I always have a problem with the signal. I started with 3G via iPhone 4, now 5S, and it's still the same. Weak wi-fi + weak signal reception from the operator. Where I end up with a signal or my signal drops out, there are people around me with at least Samsungs. 1 or 2 more "commas". Samsung just doesn't have Apple in this, unfortunately, and it really annoys me, to put it mildly.
