While other smartphone manufacturers are racing to support 5G connections. Apple has chosen to wait for reasonable commercial and Apple-specific reasons.
Mashabel's technology website explains that 5G connections are currently not well established, and U.S.-compatible 5G chips ready for launch in the fall are the Qualcomm X50 chipset found in all existing 5G phones, but they don't work the way Apple wants its devices to work.
This chip is incompatible with upcoming multicast networks and appears to make devices hotter in the summer. The antenna units of the first 5G networks are unstable at best, according to the site.
Apple could go ahead like many other handset makers and introduce only the mid-range iPhone 5G, which would be widely usable in Europe and China, but only work on the US-based Sprint network.
On the other hand, Apple will not be satisfied with the companies "AT & T" and Verizon, or their subscribers, and since the United States is the main market for Apple, you want to get everyone satisfied.
Long-term judicial battles
The other reason is that all 5G chips come from Qualcomm, which Apple has just reached a settlement with after long-term legal battles, and agreed to a six-year agreement that guarantees its approval to buy Qualcomm modems again for many years to come.
But this agreement came too late for the iPhone 11, so Apple continued to use the latest generation of 4G modems produced by Intel before the latter abandoned the business of modems 5G, and Apple hired most of Intel employees.
Why didn't Apple make their own modems like their phone processors?
Certainly, the company intends to do so, but a few years from now. According to Mashabeel, it has in the meantime concluded a supply agreement with Qualcomm. Observers generally expect to see Apple's 5G modems starting in 2022 or 2023.
Analyst Patrick Moorhead predicts that Apple's failure to introduce iPhone 5G will cause its sales to decline in China, but this will fade in late 2022, as Qualcomm is likely to introduce the next generation of modems that will support short and long-range networks for all US carriers.
At this stage, Apple will join the wave of 5G, and will come out with a new iPhone announces that it is the first good 5G phone ever, and includes the latest technology of Qualcomm, according to the report imagined Mashabel site.
