iPhone 6s Said to Include New Qualcomm Chip to Double LTE Download Speeds
The iPhone 6s will be similar to the current model in terms of design – only minor internal design changes as detailed in the pictures shared yesterday. But there will be major changes when it comes to internals: Besides Force Touch, the iPhone 6s is said to incorporate Qualcomm’s MDM9635 Chip, known as the “9 × 35” Gobi modem platform, reports 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman.
Apple’s alleged choice brings two major benefits: better battery life and a nice wireless speed upgrade. The Qualcomm chip – manufactured using a 20 nm process – was introduced in 2013 and stands out with its power efficiency and smaller form factor. Since it is smaller, Gurman speculates, it could leave space for a bigger battery in the iPhone 6s.
Secondly, the “9 × 35” Gobi modem brings a Category 6 upgrade. What this means is that this chip is part of the Cat 6 cellular modems, so the theoretical download speed should double when the iPhone 6s launches, making use of the LTE-A networks deployed worldwide.
The Qualcomm chip used in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus allows download speeds of 150 Mbps. The new modem will increase that speed to 300 Mbps, while the upload speed will be capped at 50 Mbps Gurman says.

the speed would be useful if the data caps were much higher. My iphone 6 can pull 70mbps on Fido already. That’s great and all, but with 5gb of monthly transfer that means I’d blow through all of my data in 11 minutes if I were to go full bore. If I got the theoretical 150mbps, I’m looking at around 5 minutes, and if we get up to 300, two and a half minutes. What I’m getting at is that this type of transfer would be helpful if I could download large files to my computer. I suppose it helps networks though by reducing device access times and freeing it up for others? I’m not a network engineer.
