Canadian version of iPhone 12 series doesn't feature mmWave 5G antenna on its side – MobileSyrup
Though it’s been rumoured for several months, it’s now clear that Apple’s iPhone 12 series will only be able to use mmWave 5G in the United States.
Only U.S. version of the smartphone series, including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Max, features a special mmWave antenna on its side. The Canadian iterations of the smartphone series lack this additional antenna. It’s worth noting that the mmWave antenna can only be seen on iPhone 12 marketing images on Apple.com and not Apple.ca.
However, according to PCMag lead analyst Sascha Segan, who spoke to iPhone in Canada, Canadian iPhone 12 smartphones are capable of the n78 5G band (TD 3500), which will likely launch across the country at some point in the next few years.
The Canadian government’s auction for the 3500MHz spectrum band is set for mid-2021 after being delayed roughly six months due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
What this means is that despite being positioned as offering a massive jump in network speed, it’s unlikely that Apple’s iPhone 12 series — just like every 5G smartphone currently available in Canada — will actually feature that significant a leap in data speeds.
To be clear, the current Sub-6GHz 5G networks currently offered by Rogers, Bell and Telus will still feature faster speeds, but only expect a 10 to 15 percent increase depending on where you’re located.
That said, the iPhone 12 series won’t be capable of the far faster, sometimes gigabit and faster mmWave 5G speeds available in limited areas of the United States.
I’ll have more on the iPhone 12 series’ 5G performance in my upcoming review of the smartphones.

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted this GIF for the virtual event to X on Tuesday morning.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
