In addition to 5G support, the iPhone 12 series also offers an improved hotspot function, as has now become known.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported in several Twitter reports, including Aaron Zollo of Zollotech, noted<\/a> The iPhone 12 Devices<\/a> about the new "Personal Hotspot" feature, which serves as an upgrade over previous iPhone models. Before the iPhone 12, Apple's smartphone could connect to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, but limited the hotspot functions to the 2.4GHz band. That is now changing. According to the report, the new Apple smartphones should be able to provide hotspots over 5 GHz. What is interesting is the fact that Apple has not announced the change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone 12 Hotspot: "Maximize compatibility"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new \u201cMaximize Compatibility\u201d feature within the Hotspot menu was also not mentioned in Apple\u2019s support documentation. The iOS description simply states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet performance may be reduced for devices connected to your hotspot when turned on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This means that if the feature is activated, the hotspot is provided via 2.4GHz. However, if the function is deactivated, users can now enjoy 5GHz. Zollo confirmed this in his tests. Although the whole thing has not been officially confirmed by Apple, Zollo suspects that the setting is only there for compatibility reasons. The hotspot is therefore possible via the iPhone 12 even if devices only support 2.4GHz. One positive thing to note is that a hotspot connection with 5GHz is also much more stable - the negative thing, however, is that the range is smaller. (Image: Apple)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
