According to KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a well known researcher of future apple technology, the 2018 iPhones will have Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) antennas. In addition to that, he believes the phone will support 4X4 MIMO standards that when used with the LCP antennas will allow much higher sustained speeds on the iPhones. If true, this will be much welcomed by the Apple fan base. Who wouldn't like better LTE speeds?
This new research note follows on from Kuo’s predictions last week that Apple will upgrade to Intel’s XMM 7560 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 modems in its next wave of smartphones, a move which is designed to enable faster LTE transmission speeds. Both of those modems offer support for 4×4 MIMO technology.
