All iPhone 12 models, which include four of them, are expected to support 5G networks, an implementation which will increase the component costs for Apple. In the latest estimate, notable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has highlighted how much Apple will have to pay for these components and what it means for customers. Read on more to find.

According to the TF International Securities analyst, Apple is expected to pay approximately $75 per iPhone 12 unit for sub-6GHz 5G support, and around $125 for mmWave 5G support. He also believes that the components cost increases won’t be passed onto customers, which will be a sigh of relief considering how expensive Android flagship handsets have become thanks to the incorporation of 5G modems alone.
