The iPhone 16 series is still a year away, but rumors about the upcoming devices have already started circulating. According to a new report by analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong International Securities, Apple will use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X75 modem in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models.

Announced in February 2023, the Snapdragon X75 modem offers faster and more efficient 5G connectivity than the Snapdragon X70 modem that is used in the current iPhone 15 lineup. It also features a smaller footprint and has about 20% lower power consumption.

However, Pu also suggests that Apple will only use the Snapdragon X75 modem in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. The standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models are expected to retain the Snapdragon X70 modem.

This would be a change in strategy for Apple, as the company has typically used the same Qualcomm modem across all models for each generation of iPhones. 

It is unclear why Apple would choose to use different modems in the iPhone 16 lineup. However, it is possible that the company is trying to further differentiate the Pro and Pro Max models from the baseline iPhones.

Additionally, Pu suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models will have larger displays, measuring 0.2 inches more than the current 6.1- and 6.7-inch sizes.

It is still too early to say for sure whether these rumors are accurate, but they provide some interesting insights into what Apple may have planned for the iPhone 16 series.

Qualcomm Technologies has set a new world record for sub-6 GHz 5G download speeds with its new Snapdragon X75 5G Modem-RF System. The modem achieved an impressive 7.5 Gbps downlink speed. 

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X75 5G Modem-RF System at MWC in February 2023. The X75 is the successor to the Snapdragon X70, which is found in the Galaxy S23 series and other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered devices. Qualcomm’s latest test of the X75 shows that the company is still looking for breakthrough performance and striving for the best of its hardware.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem achieves an incredible download speed

The Snapdragon X75 was able to achieve this speed by leveraging 300 MHz of spectrum. The modem also utilized 4x carrier aggregation (4xCA) across 4 Time Division Duplexing (TDD) channels in a single downlink connection, along with the use of 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). These techniques were tested in a 5G standalone (SA) network configuration to achieve a whooping speed of 7.5 Gbps.

Qualcomm has said that these capabilities of the Snapdragon X75 will allow for a much better user experience, faster download speeds, better network handling, efficiency, and more. The modem is ready to make its debut in future flagships and it will be able to handle any network-related task that you throw at it.

Qualcomm has confirmed that phones with the Snapdragon X75 5G Modem will be available in the second half of 2023. This is exciting news, as the X75 is a major upgrade over the previous generation of modems. 

T-Mobile recently achieved a download speed of 3.3 Gbps on the Galaxy S23, which uses the Snapdragon X70 modem. The X75 is expected to offer over twice that speed, at 7.5 Gbps. This is a significant improvement, and it will make a big difference for users who demand the fastest possible data speeds.
