  • Now, on to the Qualcomm MDM9615 LTE modem and RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver packages. We covered the MDM9615 extensively in the iPhone 5 teardown, but here's a quick rundown:

  • The MDM9615 allows for multi-spectrums, multi-mode LTE support. It is responsible for transmitting simultaneous voice and data transfer on LTE (provided the carrier has the infrastructure to allow simultaneous voice and data transfer.)

  • The Qualcomm RTR8600 is a multi-band/mode RF transceiver. The RTR8600 is paired alongside the MDM9615 to support various bands, including 5 UMTS bands, and over 5 LTE and 4 EDGE bands.

  • So what's pictured on this step, you say?

  • The first image depicts the HG11-N3877 LTE Baseband die.

  • The second image is of the Samsung 1G-F-MC 128 MB memory die, also found in the MDM9615.

  • The third image shows the RTR8600 die.
