the next-generation iPhone will get a second SIM-ku.
Analysts say that next year one of the new iPhone models will get the second slot for SIM-cards.
Both SIM cards can work simultaneously in LTE mode.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of the company KGI Securities says that in 2018, Apple will purchase the modems from Intel and Qualcomm, and Intel will become the main supplier with a share of orders 70-80%. It is the device with modems from Intel can get a second slot for SIM-cards.
According to analysts, in 2018 Apple will equip their smartphones modems Intel XMM 7560 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X20, which would provide higher speed cellular standard LTE. However, simultaneously receive calls on both SIM cards will be impossible, although both slots will be able to work in LTE networks.
“iPhone 2018 will not only provide faster data transmission speed in LTE networks; we expect that at least one of the models will get the second slot for SIM-cards and will work in a mode Dual-SIM Dual Stand-by (DSDS). Unlike the existing smartphones with DSDS, who usually work in mode LTE+3G both SIM slot in iPhone will support LTE connection,+LTE,” said Ming-Chi Kuo.
Ming-Chi Kuo also believes that the innovation will positively affect the sales of Apple iPhone in China, where smartphones with two SIM-cards are more popular.
