Why will other smartphones in iPhone 12 line-up support slower 5G?

According to the report, the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 6.5 inches long body whereas other upcoming Apple smartphones are smaller in comparison. This gives iPhone 12 Pro Max enough space to sport an antenna which is required for a faster millimetre-wave 5G service. This is one of the major reason why the American organisation might not provide the fast 5G service to other smartphones in other iPhone 12 series.
