Hello all, I have a question regarding the antennas. The iPhone 12 that is being sold in the US has the mmWave antennas, while the European models ship with sub-6. My question is, if I buy the iPhone from the US will I be able to connect to mmWave networks in Europe? Or is it the new CDMA meaning that the US models are for the US and won't work anywhere else. Thanks in advance!

As I understand it the mmWave frequencies supported by the US model are specific to the US carriers at the moment and so when mmWave launches in Europe (or elsewhere) if different frequencies are chosen it won't work on them (no doubt Apple's future iPhones will support them though once other countries start to use the frequencies).
