Smartphones are reaching a point where it's more or less plateauing in terms of features. It's hard to come up with new things that can be squeezed into such small packages. But for Apple, its latest plan could result in better battery life for the iPhone 14 series.
According to Taiwan United Daily News (via MacRumors), the Apple iPhone 14 series would be using a new 6nm RF transceiver chip to go with the Snapdragon X65 5G modem. What's great is that this chip would be smaller than its predecessors, allowing for lower power consumption on the sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G bands. As a result, users can expect to see longer battery life.
Besides that, the new RF chip will support Wi-Fi 6E. This is an upgraded version of Wi-Fi 6 that delivers better performance, lower latencies, faster connection speeds, and an extended range for the 6GHz band. Having more devices in the 6GHz band makes space for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz commonly, which are commonly used by other wireless devices like wireless earphones. For your info, Bluetooth also uses the 2.4GHz band.
Of course, we won't know how much of an improvement it could deliver till we see the device later this year. Until then, stay tuned to TechNave for more leaks and rumours about the Apple iPhone 14 series.
