Apple is all set to kick-off the production of the next generation iPhone and iPod, which will feature new low powered 802.11n chip. Currently the capabilities of iPod as well as the iPhone are limited to the 802.11b/g networks.
Today, many of the iTouch iPod users and the iPhone 3G users keep cribbing about Wi-Fi and 3G literally crawling, and in low reception areas, it becomes virtually impossible to make use of these services. Therefore, while facing connectivity issues, browsing internet and sending photos etc becomes extremely irritating at times.
However, the next generation iPhones and iPods will unleash concepts like channel bonding, allowing multiple channels to interact thus doubling the reception speed straight away. So in simpler terms, the 802.11n chip will make life of all the multi-media users, a lot easier and better. They will be able to avail the benefits of multiple input, multiple output jolt and many other impressive features, which are not available in the current generations of iPods.
They will also support the regular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi reception, as before. Therefore, the boost from 802.11b/g to the low powered 802.11n chip, will mark drastic improvement in the quality of the services like Wi-Fi and especially the 3G, in comparison the to current 2.4GHz 802.11b/g networks that were prone to meagre performance.
Though many of the latest devices also support the 5GHz 802.11a networks, the overall quality still remains kind of mediocre. But gone are the days of the hassles in connectivity, as we await the launch of the next generation iPhones and iPods featuring the low powered 802.11n chip, to give you the best multi-media and Wireless connectivity experience. They’re expected to hit the market in the upcoming year.
