Sounds like apple has restricted all of the advanced features of the qualcom chipset anyway. I am sure these will be available in next years iphone instead. Had they not, the 4x4 mimo would be amazing on T-Mobile and other international carriers.
Are you sure about this? I thought I read from Tmobile that the Samsung S7 Edge (which I was using prior to moving to iPhone7 Plus) now has 4x4 mimo support after the last software update and the support was coming to iphone7. Hmm they just mention more phones will be added soon but the PcMag article seems to mention no 4x4 mimo for Tmobile iphone this is no good!

Why Apple didn't use this chip instead? Seems like the ideal chip...
