UPDATE: It turns out that Apple is NOT using the Qualcomm X75 modem in this year's iPhone lineup. But the SDX71M chip revealed in teardowns is proving to be a mystery.
I've updated our story with a few additional details.

---
Yesterday, Apple announced this year's batch of new iPhone models - the mainstream iPhone 16, the large-screen iPhone 16 Plus, and the new flagship iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
With 5G technology becoming increasingly mature, there is little obviously new on the iPhone 16 cellular front.
But this year, Wi-Fi 7 makes its debut, bringing the next generation of Wi-Fi technology to the iPhone for the first time.
And as we recently reported, satellite communication features are also being advanced in iOS 18 for all recent iPhone models via a software update.
Since Apple (like it or not) defines what is considered "mainstream" for mobile technology for the upcoming year, join us in our annual deep dive into just what is new from the connectivity perspective in this year's iPhone updates.
