A First Look at How Apple’s C1 Modem Performs With Early Adopters


The 16e is the first iPhone to feature the Apple-designed C1 modem. Key Takeaways: - AT&T and Verizon Speedtest® users experienced better median download speeds on the iPhone 16e than iPhone 16.

The iPhone 16e’s underperformance in median download speed compared to the iPhone 16 on T-Mobile’s network is most likely due to the fact that T-Mobile is the only US carrier to have a nationwide commercialized 5G standalone network (SA) and one of the few operators globally to deploy significant spectrum depth and advanced features like carrier aggregation (CA) on the new 5G architecture.
