tomgrelinger Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Has there been rumors on Apple's next set of iPhones when it comes to taking advantage of some of the newer capabilities of Sprint's network? Are we going to see HPUE in this next batch of phones? I'm planning to upgrade once they release and was curious if there is anything out there. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they changed the confirmation to 112 down 9 up I hope that is the case. Density, density, density.

Steve Dean Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 As we all know, everything is a rumor and speculation with Apple until it is released. From items I have read, the 7S series will most likely not have ability to connect to HPUE. With the high end iPhone that is rumored be released later, it may be HPUE capable but we will know when it hits the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAvirani Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 We'll know when we review Apple's FCC filings. Should be pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 That depends upon how you define "pretty soon." FCC OET filings for Apple products do not go public until the day of their unveiling events. No matter. This thread is silly. Have there been rumors? Of course. But rumors do not reveal any substantiated information. Otherwise, they would be announcements or leaks, not rumors. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsnake49 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 HPUE will make absolutely no difference with the downlink. However it will make a lot of difference when Sprint turns on VOLTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnygATL Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 HPUE will make absolutely no difference with the downlink. However it will make a lot of difference when Sprint turns on VOLTE.That's not exactly true. As I understand it, HPUE does affect the uplink but not in the manner you are describing. The device will be capable of uploading at a farther distance from the closest macro tower, thereby enabling said device to stay on band 41 for longer (up to 30% more distant than a non HPUE device). The uplink transmission power of the device is the limiting reagent in this equation. This also means that average download speeds should also theoretically increase as the device remains on b41 longer. Make sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossedSignals Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I could well be incorrect with my logic but given that the iPhone 6 and 6S (and I assume the 7 has and the 7S will continue this trend) both had Band 41 EIRP levels that were >26dBm (HPUE Power Class 2), is it really a relevant point as to whether the iPhone 7S has or doesn't have HPUE? It appears that the iPhone is already providing band 41 uplink performance that is superior to HPUE through positive antenna gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 HPUE is based on conducted power, not radiated power. No iPhone yet is HPUE -- despite any EIRP >26 dBm. And any EIRP >26 dBm without HPUE could jump to >29 dBm with HPUE. AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make since only real world used has deemed this "up to 30%" difference your talking about not noticeable from a non HPUE device.

Brynn0823 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Based on Sprint technology improvements and apple, as well as past projections...HPUE will most likely be in this batch of iPhones. My guess is iPhones 2018 will have 4CA since Sprint plans to launch 4CA end of the year/early next year.
