The company continues to cut its reliance on external hardware vendors.
After switching over its flagship new MacBooks to its own home-brewed processor, Apple looks all set to give the iPhone the same treatment. The Cupertino-based consumer electronics giant seems to be on a path of self-reliance riding on the success of its ARM-based M1 processor. With a successor already set for debut early next year, the company seems to have dumped Intel for good. It now appears Apple’s desire to take control over its devices extends beyond laptops, as according to reports, the company has already developed a cellular modem that could allow it to end its reliance on Qualcomm.
