iPhone 6 Said to Feature Faster Qualcomm MDM9625 LTE Modem with LTE-Advanced Support

The iPhone 6 may incorporate Qualcomm's MDM9625 LTE modem (https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2012/02/27/qualcomm-third-generation-lte-chipsets-are-first-support-hspa-release-10), according to a new photo of the device's supposed logic board shared (http://www.weibo.com/p/1001593744578460081276) by GeekBar (Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.weibo.com/p/1001593744578460081276), via G for Games (http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iphone-6-no-cat-6-report-44845/)).

 Originally announced (https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2012/02/27/qualcomm-third-generation-lte-chipsets-are-first-support-hspa-release-10) in 2012 and featuring support for speeds of up to 150 MBPS and improved LTE networking, the Category 4 chip would mark an improvement over the Qualcomm MDM9615 (http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/MDM9615) chip found in the iPhone 5s (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+5s+Teardown/17383) and iPhone 5 (http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/12/iphone-5-logic-board-shows-a6-chip-qualcomm-mdm9615m-lte-modem-hynix-flash/). The MDM9625 is also more durable than its predecessor, allowing for lower temperatures under heavy performance thanks to a refined 28-nanometer production process.
 
 Along with those features, the MDM9625 includes support for next-generation LTE Advanced networks, which have yet to roll out in most parts of the world. News of the MDM9625's inclusion in the iPhone 6 also contrast a detailed yet sketchy report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/06/sketchy-report-details-iphone-6-features/) from VentureBeat posted earlier this month, which stated that the iPhone 6 would include a Category 6 LTE modem capable of 300 MBPS throughput speeds. That radio however was said to not include support for LTE-Advanced networks as featured in the MDM9625.
 
 GeekBar also posted (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/18/nfc-iphone-6-schematic/) a supposed schematic from the iPhone 6 yesterday, which appeared to show support for near field communications (NFC) in the device. The schematic also references (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/18/iphone6-schematic-1gb-ram/) a NAND flash chip, which was originally interpreted by the website to be 1 GB of DRAM in the device.
 
 Apple will announce (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/05/apple-to-hold-iphone-event-on-september-9/) the iPhone 6 at an event on Tuesday, September 9. The launch of the 4.7-inch version will probably follow soon after, as production issues (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/13/iphone-6-production-issues-5-5-inch-delay-2015/) may hold back the release of the 5.5-inch version until late this year or early next year. In addition to a larger display, the iPhone 6 will feature a thinner chassis, a faster A8 chip (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/11/a8-2-ghz/), an improved camera with stabilization (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/24/optical-image-stabilization-iphone-6/), and more.
