New iPhone series to have faster LTE modem: MDM9635M

We are now able to expect what radio feature will be upgraded without watching Apple event thanks to many leaked media sources.

According to 9to5Mac, iPhone 6s will allegedly have faster multimode LTE modem to support more radio features especially Category 6 downlink speed up to 300Mbps.
It is not a surprising news but is meaningful for Apple iPhone hardcore fans because Apple finally seems to change their modem chipset upgrade cycle.

Typically Apple has maintained for two generations using a modem however this case will skip the previous step.

Then let's take a look where it comes from to check new iPhone's modem as below.

MDM9635M has been introduced by Galaxy S5 last year however let's just remind what radio features will be supported.

- DC-HSPA, EVDO Rev. B, CDMA 1x, GSM and TD-SCDMA
- Carrier Aggregation Category 6 up to DL 300Mbps
- More radio and CA bands combination

New iPhones have now doubled LTE speed and will maximize user experience along with upgraded CPU and RAM size with A9 chip and 2GB ram memory.

Is it enough that we can say it is hugely upgraded for users?
Of course, people will tell and compare with legacy iPhones and Androids when launched in the market.
