Dec 6, 2024, 04:31 PM
Apple Inc. is planning a three-year phased rollout of in-house modem chips, aiming to replace components supplied by Qualcomm. The initiative, set to begin in the first half of 2025 with the iPhone SE, will gradually expand to more advanced devices by 2027. Apple’s goal is to outdo Qualcomm by integrating features such as tighter power efficiency and satellite connectivity. This ambitious project reflects Apple's modem roadmap and marks a significant step in its strategy to reduce reliance on external suppliers. Despite this shift, Apple will continue using components from Broadcom and Skyworks in its devices.
