Weeks after Apple revealed the iPhone 12, the company hosted another virtual event to announce the M1 chip, which is the first computer chip that it has ever designed in-house. The M1 currently powers multiple MacBook models, and over the next two years, the company plans to transition its entire lineup to Apple silicon. Apple has been designing its own chips since the A4 in 2010, which powered the iPhone 4, and in the coming years, even more homegrown chipsets are expected. In fact, in a new research note seen by MacRumors, Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Thomas O’Malley claimed that Apple will debut its custom-designed 5G cellular modem in all 2023 iPhone models, which, for the purposes of this article, we’ll refer to as the iPhone 15.
