What’s the oval on the side of the Pro Max models? (alien.top)

Hey people

I noticed that some markets get the 15 Pro Max models with an oval just under the unlock button. My 15 Pro Max does not.

Is it just some markets that do?

Pictures for reference:

The oval-shaped cutout is for the mmWave 5G antenna. Exclusive to regions that support mmWave/Ultra Wideband like the US region iPhones afaik. Other regions don’t get it as they don’t support it.
