David Hanak The American PCMag brought a test of the transfer speeds of the new iPhones, when using the LTE mobile data network. Despite Apple's claims, it looks like not much has changed since last year when it comes to transfer speeds per se. On the fastest models, Apple still loses a bit to the competition.

Dan Pražák As part of the testing that took place in the networks of the three largest American operators, it became clear that the new iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max achieve noticeably higher transmission speeds than the cheaper iPhone 11. However, apart from this, this year's top models did not quite succeed, at least in terms of transmission speeds , surpass last year's models. Although both use 4×4 MIMO technology, the iPhone XS achieved higher transfer rates. It is also interesting that all of this year's innovations contain the same LTE modem, the Intel XMM7660. The cheaper iPhone 11 has "only" a 2×2 MIMO configuration of integrated antennas.
The averaged results show that the new iPhones easily lag behind last year's models in terms of maximum transfer speeds. In practice, however, the results should be more or less identical, in this particular case the final form of the measured data is influenced by a small reference sample. What specific carrier the phone is connected to will also have a big impact on the top speeds achieved - especially in the US, this can vary greatly.
On the other hand, what the new iPhones score is a better ability to receive a signal. This should subjectively improve a little compared to last year's models. However, the biggest difference in this regard will be noticed by users who are switching from some of the older iPhone models (iPhone 6S and older). How it will be with the measurement in Europe is not yet completely clear. The hardware inside the phones is the same for the EU and US versions, only the supported bands differ. We will have to wait for the results from our environment.
