After reports suggested Apple scrapped its plans to make in-house 5G modems, it seems the company has a three-year plan to replace Qualcomm.
After reports suggested Apple had scrapped its plans to make in-house 5G modems, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman says the Cupertino company actually has a three-year plan to replace Qualcomm chips with its proprietary technology.
Interestingly, the company currently has a deal with Qualcomm to use its chips until at least 2026. This contract would last long enough for Apple to completely revamp its lineup with its own modems, which is one of the boldest changes in the iPhone’s history.
According to the publication, the first Apple 5G modem will be available in next year’s iPhone SE 4.
