Barclays analysts expect iPhone 13 to offer better wireless connectivity
Next year's iPhone 13 series may support Wi-Fi 6E.
That is according to Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis, Thomas O'Malley, and Tim Long (via MacRumours).
Wi-Fi 6E brings the features and capabilities of Wi-Fi 6 (faster data rates and lower latency) to the all-new 6GHz frequencies. This adds more spectrum and higher throughputs. As a user, you can expect a more reliable connection and less congestion.
In case you are wondering, the iPhone 12 supports Wi-Fi 6 which operates on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus, which powers a lot of current Android flagships, already supports Wi-Fi 6E.
Per previously available information, the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will feature the low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) backplane tech. This would allow Apple to add a variable 120Hz refresh rate to the new phones without having to worry about battery life. The new models might also support Always On Display.
