I think one of the most important questions about the new iPhone is what baseband is on iPhone 5 running iOS 6. This question was arisen right after iPhone 5 release. So I started to browsing the net and looking for iPhone 5 baseband digits. A new iPhone will have a new baseband and it is natural. Remember that I have already written you about iOS 6 baseband and you can find out what baseband will have older iPhone models after update to iOS 6. And now you can find out about iPhone 5 modem firmware. I'm sure you know that it is impossible to get iPhone 5 in your hand right now but in spite of this there are many people who can boast new Apple device and it wasn't very difficult to discover iPhone 5 baseband. So it is the moment of truth and iPhone 5 baseband on iOS 6 is - 1.00.16 debug. Baseband chips for iPhone 5 were produced by Qualcomm company based on San Diego, Cali. iPhone 4S also features Qualcomm baseband and all other models are using Infenion baseband chips. However there are news that there can be iPhone 5 problems with production of Qualcomm chips. According to Qualcomm President and COO Steven M. Mollenkopf, their corporation is presently having some difficulties with the reduced flow of these baseband chips for iPhone 5. Also Mollenkopf doesn’t refuse that Qualcomm is presently thinking about obtaining additional providers who'll assist to attain the necessary amount of security companions. Keep in mind that Qualcomm doesn't itself directly involved in the creation of chips for mobile phones, there's also some other manufacturers as TMSC, UMC, Samsung and GlobalFoundries. However I think that one of the main reasons tha Apple uses Qualcomm chips is that it almost impossible to hack it and try to unlock iPhone 5 baseband 1.00.16. This chips are really safe from unlock. Althouth famous French hacker know as Pod2G who created untethered jailbraek for iOS 5.1.1 Absinthe 2.0 has recently tweeted that he is working on finding unlocking solution for iPhone 4S baseband 2.0.10 and 2.0.12. If he could find something real for iPhone 4S it is with out a doubt will be free unlock so we can hope for free iPhone 5 unlock for 1.00.16 baseband on iOS 6 as well.
