While just a few months ago it was rumored that he had Apple with the development of its own 5G modem, and it is possible that the entire project will fail.onec completely and will remain loyal to Qualcomm, the opposite is true. Relatively recently, the Californian giant revealed iPhone 16e, which also includes the first 5G modem from its workshop - specifically Apple C1. And as shown by a study by the well-known connection speed meter Ookla, after a few weeks of its live operation, the C1 is doing more than well in terms of speed.

A study conducted by Ookla based on data from previous weeks of iPhone 16e operation with the C1 modem clearly shows that the modem solution from Applu for many users is ultimately much more meaningful than the Qualcomm modem from the iPhone 16. Based on long-term measurements of download and upload speeds at the three largest American operators, Ookla found that the C1 significantly outperforms its rival in both poor signal and average signal quality. It only lags behind in maxat maximum download and upload speeds with a perfect signal, but it is worth saying here that given the level of the highest speeds in the form of higher hundreds of Mbps, this difference does not play as much of a role as it does with a weaker signal, where you will feel every extra Mbps in terms of user comfort.

What is very interesting is that with an average signal, the download speed of the C1 is only slightly higher than that of the Qualcomm modem in the iPhone 16, but the upload speed is both higher and supposedly more stable. In general, it can be said that the 5G modem AppThe 16G network in the iPhone 16e is overall more reliable than the one in the iPhone 5, and users should therefore be able to connect to XNUMXG networks via it. iPhone 16e a little more comfortable.
