iPhone 18 Pro gets Apple’s C2 modem; Pro Max U.S. specs don’t name it
Apple’s materials introduce C2 on iPhone 18 Pro (and Duo). U.S. Pro Max specs list 5G/LTE but do not name C2 — a modem split outlets are still unpacking.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max announcement is not a clean modem story. Official copy credits C2 to the smaller Pro — and U.S. tech specs do not mirror that language for Pro Max.
What Apple says
In the Newsroom release, Apple writes that both models include N1 (Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread), then: “iPhone 18 Pro introduces C2,” Apple’s next-generation cellular modem with AI-assisted reliability, faster uploads vs C1X, 15% less energy, and mmWave in the U.S.
On the U.S. tech specs page, Apple C2 cellular modem appears in the Pro wireless block. The Pro Max block that follows lists sub‑6 / mmWave 5G and Gigabit LTE — .
