iPhone 12: questions and answers about the different specs from USA to the world
SO IF YOU WERE TO BUY ANY IPHONE 12 MODEL IN THE US, WOULD IT ONLY WORK IN 4G-LTE IN EUROPE?
Finally, after the usual wait, the iPhone 12 has arrived in all versions in the global area. An event for the first time online that has kept millions of people around the world glued, united by the passion for the new releases of Cupertino. United in spirit, but not in technology. Apparently, in fact, for the first 5G edition of the iPhone, the US market and the global market have different technical specifications. Starting from the 5g wave.
All iPhone 12s support 5G technology - as millions of people asked in the near past - but not all 5G networks are the same: in fact there is the super fast 5G mmWave (millimeter wave) and the slower, more widespread and with greater coverage Sub-6GHz 5G.
The difference in 5G networks and their spread has forced Apple to produce two different iPhone 12s, one destined only for the US market that include a Qualcomm radio module compatible with the mmWave n260 and n261 bands, which operate at 39GHz and 28GHz respectively. The other iPhone 12 model, on the other hand, is intended for the rest of the world and supports most other 5G networks.
There is not much to despair because in all the countries of the European Community, the various mobile phone operators have decided to use only Sub-6GHz 5G technology.
