IPhone 12 with new WLAN chip: Why are these data transfer rates satisfying Apple?

Faster data transfer and AR glasses

Apple iPhone 12 may be equipped with a new WLAN chip to achieve extremely high speeds. How Apple will use this technology remains to be seen. However, there are already theories that high data transfer rates may be beneficial.

Apple can equip the iPhone 12 with a new WiFi chip that already supports the upcoming WLAN standard "IEEE 802.11ay". Japanese blog Macotakara claims to have learned from an informed circle. This standard has not been finally adopted. It is a further development of the previous advertising standard and can be transmitted at high frequencies above 60 GHz. This enables extremely high data rates up to 172 Gigabits per second, but only over short distances. Thin walls and other obstacles can already shield the signal.

Therefore, American Online Magazine MacWorld does not believe that Apple has integrated standards for fast Internet connections, but enumerates other possible uses. Apple can use the new WLAN standard for fast data exchange between two Apple devices via AirDrop.

Reference AR glasses?

In addition, the magazine once again put augmented reality glasses from Cupertino manufacturers into use. This will also benefit from high WLAN speeds. There have been several speculations about such glasses. So far, such AR glasses and "WLAN ay" in iPhone 12 are just rumors, and you should be skeptical.
