5G connectivity has become one of the latest technologies when it comes to connection and it seems like the iPhone 15 is really packing a punch with the new Pro variant. The smartphone uses the X70 modem which comes with noticeably better power consumption among other benefits.

According to the story by The Verge, the X70 modem also comes with better carrier aggregation as well as the ability to get better signals at longer distances. It was also noted that the smartphone improves connection by offering better 5G connectivity.
Data from SpeedSmart was highlighted in an article by 9to5Mac indicating whether the iPhone 15 Pro would really come with up to 24% faster download 5G speeds compared to the previous 14 Pro model.

The SpeedSmart data also revealed that there was a huge jump when it came to Verizon's network, which revealed how it was able to achieve almost 50Mbps more compared to the iPhone 14 Pro.
The iPhone 14 Pro was only able to achieve a speed of 195.83 Mbps but the newer iPhone 15 Pro. Even more impressive was the iPhone 15 Pro's performance when it came to T-Mobile as it was able to reach 300.92 Mbps in the fastest average 5G download speed.
The iPhone 15 Pro was Slower with AT&T with Speeds Closer to the iPhone 14 Pro
The iPhone 15 Pro only reached 204.34 Mbps on AT&T, which is closer to its performance on the iPhone 14 Pro, which achieved speeds of about 9 Mbps less. Despite download speeds having huge changes, upload speeds only saw a small difference as seen on the data from all three major carriers.
It was also noted that the reason for the improvements has most likely something to do with the upgraded modem on both the iPhone 15 Pro as well as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It was also noted that although Apple didn't specifically mention the type of modem it's using on its devices, it was revealed on SpeedSmart that it uses the Snapdragon X70 modem which comes from Qualcomm.

Apple Could be Developing Its Own Modem but It Might Take a While Before They Release It
The company advertises that it offers unmatched data speeds, latency, and even coverage. The modem reportedly comes with its own AI processor which is supposed to improve 5G frequency connections.
This includes the short-wave mmWave signals with the Snapdragon X70 modem coming from the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup. So far, there are also rumors that Apple is trying to work on its very own in-house 5G modems.
This comes as the company has extended its own modem supply agreement until 2026 meaning it might not be until after that when Apple comes out with their own modems. Preorders for the iPhone 15 are reportedly live and they will start shipping out on September 22.
