It was unclear whether the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are equipped with the same X65 as the iPhone 14 series, or whether they are equipped with the X70. However, Shahram Mokhtari, lead disassembly engineer at iFixit, a repair shop that disassembles various gadgets, revealed that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are equipped with X70.
A lot of people have asked whether the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are still using last years Qualcomm X65 modem or the new X70 seen in the 15 Pro's.

Compared to its predecessor, the X70 has lower power consumption and improved 5G carrier aggregation performance, which improves performance even when the iPhone is far from a cell tower. In addition, the 5G communication speed of the iPhone 15 Pro equipped with X70 has been improved by up to 24%, so it seems that we can expect a similar improvement in communication speed for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
It has been reported that Apple is developing its own 5G modem chip, but the day before the iPhone 15 series was announced, it announced that it had extended its 5G modem chip supply contract with Qualcomm. Until then, Qualcomm's 5G modem chips are likely to continue to be used in iPhones.
