Ok, so is there any credible way to figure out whether somone is buying a Qualcomm iPhone or Intel one?
As a totally noob to state-of-art in mobile modems, I guess Qualcomm chips support the latest specification than Intel one, on paper, but in reality Capex intensive telecom operators are hardly on bleeding edge specification, so performance may very well be equal for the ~2 year cycle-life of a iPhone.
- citrusui 10y agoA quick search brings up the following article: https://www.recode.net/2016/9/9/12863302/apple-iphone-7-intel-qualcomm https://www.recode.net/2016/9/9/12863302/apple-iphone-7-inte... To summarize, iPhone 7 models A1660 and A1661 contain Qualcomm modems, whereas models A1778 and A1784 have Intel modems. (There are two extra iPhone models solid in Japan; A1779 and A1785. I assume they feature Qualcomm.)
- indemnity 10y agoNot sure if this is relevant, but my new Intel iPhone 7+ really struggles (1 bar) in areas where the same SIM in my wife's Qualcomm iPhone 6 gets 3-4 bars. Seems worse with older standards like 3G.
