Ming-Chi Kuo: Apple set to sell 80-85M iPhones with 5G

13 January 2020
Also, the models supporting the faster mmWave standard will launch simultaneously with the ones using sub-6GHz 5G, despite previous reports.

Sort by:

The 5G versions will be like 400$ above the 4G versions of same phone. I bet that will become true :)
But then, Apple ecosystem is priceless. Or is it.

          There's no competition for iPhone and haven't been in many many years. When Samsung had their galaxy S3-S4 that was last time when Apple had real competition in the market.

            Actually...
            This time Apple will have the same or slightly better efficiency (probably the same reception too) as everybody else using Qualcomm SoC because the X55 is not integrated on the 865, the same way that has always been on the iPhones.
            That toll is the reason why the S20 (and probably every single phone with the X55 including iPhones) will have a bigger battery.

            I'm going to bet that the modem will be the same on all iphone models with 5G but the fact that the mm part of the standard requires more antennas (and space on the device) is the reason why some will not be enabled for that mode.

              That's the difference between Apple, Samsung, Sony, etc etc etc, vs Chinese companies...

                Why just 80-85Millions, they can set to sell 200 Millions all they can! Since no one knows their numbers, they can claim anything

                  iPhone's will have very tough competition from excellent 5G Android phones that will launch in 2020. Phones with better efficiency and better reception in comparison to the first generation 5G phones but also at cheaper prices in comparison to iphones.

                    I think many people considering a new phone are accommodating for 5G as a future resistant feature. 5G sales are picking up. It's is a very good thing that handset manufacturers are indeed producing 5G capable handsets. They also are compatible with 4G networks too. Considering it is still early days. The UK and Europe have 5G networks all over the place now. And that is continuing to expand aggressively. More people are buying 5G phones especially where 5G coverage is available. However, 5G's selling momentum is only increasing and not decreasing.

                      The hype train of 2020 is derailed. I thought we're expecting a fully All-screen iPhone 12 with an uncompromised Underscreen camera, USB-C and 5G capable. Too bad it won't be mmWave capable until 2021.

                        Shamsung was forcing 5G version of the S10 and it didn't sell that well. They forgot that coverage of 5G of certain countries was limited, though the handset tried to help 5G to grow. Still, Apple has better marketing strategy (also with some Chinese OEMs).

                        Sorry, Shamsung.
