`2019 iPhones to feature new antenna structure that improves indoor navigation - PhoneArena
`
`(L-R) Apple iPhone XS Max , iPhone XS , and iPhone X
`
`With just over four months to go until Apple’s next-gen iPhones are ocially introduced,
`renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is back today with his latest research note which focuses on
`the antenna technology Apple will use.
`
`Improved indoor navigation, fewer production issues
`
`Inside the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR there are currently two upper
`antennae and two lower ones, all of which are manufactured from Liquid Crystal Polymer
`(LCP). According to Kuo, though, the 2019 iPhone series will introduce some major changes to
`this structure. Specically, it’s predicted Apple will use a single LCP and modied polyamide
`(MPI) unit for the upper antenna and three MPI units for the lower ones.
`
`The reason for this sudden switch to MPI technology reportedly has something to do with
`production. In his research note, Kuo explains that the current-gen iPhones are being held

`
`Apple is ditching the iPhone XS & iPhone XR LCP technology almost entirely
`
`The focus on the modied-PI structure this year should result in similar 4G LTE performance
`and fewer production problems. Theoretically, the technology is also cheaper to produce,
`although Kuo believes the overall antenna production costs will rise between 10% and 20%
`due to new ultra-wideband upgrades that will improve indoor navigation performance.

`Speaking of which, recent Apple patents suggested the company was working on a feature
`that’d allow individual store and mall apps to integrate indoor mapping and location tracking.
`
`Another benet that’ll come from the switch is a more diverse set of suppliers – Apple will
`
`apparently go from having just two suppliers to a total of ve. Murata, who is already one ofMurat
`Apple’s suppliers, will continue to supply LCP for the upper antenna, while Flexium, Avary, and
`ZDT will split orders for the MPI part. Regarding the bottom MPI units, orders look set to be
`split between Avary, ZDT, and DSBJ. Current LCP supplier Career has been cut from Apple’s
`order list, according to Kuo, and will not receive new orders for the iPhone, iPad, or Apple
`Watch this year. 
`
`Apple could switch its antenna technology back in 2020
`
`The focus on MPI this year is a pretty major move for Apple, but according to Ming-Chi Kuo,
`it’s only temporary. In fact, come next year the Cupertino giant will reportedly switch back to
`LCP once materials have been improved and production issues resolved. This technology will
`then be used inside the next-gen iPad Pro models that are due to arrive in Q1 2020 and
`Apple’s rst 5G iPhones later on in the year.
`
`While on the topic of 5G iPhones, it's worth pointing out that the modem situation for these
`has changed quite drastically over the past month. Following Apple’s legal battle with
`Qualcomm which resulted in the latter refusing to supply the former with modems for its
`2018 iPhone series, the expectation was that the Silicon Valley-based company would
`continue to use Intel modems as it introduced support for the next-generation networks next
`year.

`
`Towards the middle of April, however, Apple and Qualcomm surprisingly announced that they
`had reached a six-year agreement for chips. This quickly led to Intel’s exit from the mobile 5G
`modem market and now, according to Kuo, Apple will use both Qualcomm and Samsung 5G
`modems next year.
`
`Eventually, support for the next-gen networks will also be expanded to the iPad Pro lineup.
`However, Kuo believes this won’t happen until the tablets are refreshed in 2021.

`Are you aware that most users of Apple products are rich, famous and successful people in their

`They will not be sad just because of a phone or even waste their time talk $#!t on the internet.
