Although we still have six months ahead of the launch of the new iPhone 12 series of phones, leaks and rumors related to the next generation of iPhone are escalating more than any other smartphone that will come out this year, and sufficient information has leaked so far from reliable sources that make Apple supporters excited about its next phone.
Much of the controversy surrounding the upcoming iPhone 12 focuses on the new design of the phone, which is understandable of course given that the current iPhone 11 design is similar to the previous iPhone XS and iPhone XR series, and it also carries the same design for the iPhone X that was released in 2017.
Therefore, Apple fans are passionate about a noticeable change in the iPhone design, and this is what they will get when the company unveils the iPhone 12 series in September, according to the BGR website, which tracks the company news. But the new iPhone will feature great upgrades beyond just a new design.
On the level of advantages, more than one independent report stated that the new iPhone 12 phones will support the fifth generation (5G) communications, and a major leak revealed a new feature with the iOS 14 operating system, which is a completely new interface for multitasking in the iPhone.
But there is a new report that highlights a unique feature that iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will never have seen on any smartphone before, which is support for Wi-Fi 802.11ay.
801.11ay is the new standard for Wi-Fi wireless communications expected to be completed by the Wi-Fi World Federation in late 2020.
While the “normal” Wi-Fi technology that we all use in our homes uses 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies, 802.11ay uses the 60GHz frequency to transmit data at high speeds over short distances.
And a Japanese website that specializes in Apple news called "Makotakara", said on Monday, in a report that the next iPhone series will support this new technology.
Although it is currently unclear how iPhones will benefit from the 802.11ay standard, it may be for the next generation AirDrop feature that is faster and more reliable than the company currently provides for iPhones and other devices.
The machine translation of Makotakara's report refers to the feature as a "ultra-short range" wireless connection, which looks just like the "Air Drop" feature.
It is reported that "Air Drop" is a feature in the iOS and Mac OS operating systems that allows files to be transferred between supported Macs and iOS devices over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth without the use of mail or mass storage accessories.
