A new report from Fast Company today says that just the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro model will support the faster millimeter-wave variation of 5G. All of the new iPhone 12 designs are anticipated to support sub-6GHz 5G connection, though.
Todays report, which points out a “cordless market source,” discusses that just the iPhone 12 Pro Max includes sufficient physical space for the mmWave 5G hardware. It is likewise the only model with a large adequate battery to support the quicker connection.
