A Deep Dive into Apple’s C1 Modem Performance Across Leading Global Markets
On the eve of Apple’s Sept. 9 launch event where the company is expected to debut a new generation of iPhone devices, we compared the C1’s performance in the iPhone 16e to the iPhone 16.
However, similar to T-Mobile in the US, Airtel and Jio’s more capable 5G networks, highlight the impact of higher levels of carrier aggregation for the iPhone 16, allowing them to join more spectrum bands for more bandwidth overall. At the upper 90th percentile, for users achieving the top 10% of speeds, Jio continues to see a lead for the iPhone 16, and Airtel follows suit —highlighting that in certain locations on its network, it is able to aggregate additional spectrum bands to support faster performance.
