New iPhone has FM radio and faster Wi-Fi |
Listed in: News Tags: apple, ios, news
The current iPhone and iPod touch use Broadcom’s BCM4325 which integrates 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, and an FM receiver all into one tiny chip. The new Broadcom BCM4329 chip, the one found in the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware, would add 802.11n to the laundry list of features plus an FM transmitter.
This new chip will not only boost the speed of the devices over WiFi, but it will also aid in Apple’s lifetime goal of extending battery life by reducing active and idle power consumption. This is great news for folks with 802.11n routers. There will be no need to make your router 802.11g compatible just for your iPhone or iPod touch anymore, the result of which can sometimes cause network instability.
The next generation of iPhone with 3.0 software looks set to take the world by storm.
