In recent days, there are many details about the suspected new iPhone leaked. But the rumor sites are not ready yet. 9to5mac has iOS 6-dumps from a prototype of the next iPhone to get hold of and has promised to reveal more in the coming days. Today they pay attention to the new Broadcom BCM4334 chip, Wi-Fi chip via a 40nm manufacturing process is made. The BCM4330-65nm predecessor, it was used in the new iPhone and the iPhone 4S. The new Wi-Fi chip is 40 to 50% more efficient and compensates for the future higher energy due to the larger screen and the use of LTE features in the new iPhone. The energy-efficient chip can also help Apple to make a thinner iPhone.
The Broadcom chip also allows for more than Wi-Fi, because there are other wireless technologies in integrated, such as Bluetooth 4.0 and an FM radio. The latter option has never actively used in earlier Apple iPhones. The Broadcom chip supports dual-band WiFi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with support for Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Display Direct.
