The report speculates that future millimeter wave technology may be applied to Apple's iPhone products.
Apple has actively deployed 5G technology. The foreign technology website 9To5Mac previously reported that Apple has made new advances in its patented 5G technology layout. Related technology patents are related to the design of millimeter-wave (millimeter-wave) antennas and transceivers' printed circuits, and can be designed to be flexible. Flexible printed circuit board.
Related millimeter-wave printed circuit designs can be applied to Apple products such as iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Future applications can be further applied to smart glasses, head-mounted devices, or other wearable devices. TV, game consoles, navigation devices or automotive applications.
Millimeter-wave refers to radio waves in the frequency range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. Applications include wireless communications, automotive radar, and satellite communications applications.
The foreign technology website DSLReports reported in late July last year that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved Apple's testing of millimeter wave technology at two locations near Milpitas in California.
5G is the abbreviation of the 5th generation wireless communication technology. It is estimated that the 5G transmission speed in the market is theoretically more than 10 times that of the current LTE/4G technology. It is expected that 5G will be used in the commercial transfer phase in 2020, including the wafer vendors, and equipment. Business, telecom operators are optimistic about market opportunities.
