iPhone 17 could be the first phone to have Apple-designed 5G modems
- Apple is expected to switch to its own 5G modems by 2025.
- The iPhone 17 or iPhone SE 4 could be the first to have an Apple-designed modem.
- The switch will lower Apple’s dependence on Qualcomm.
Qualcomm is not exactly having the best year, reporting a 52% net income loss year over year in Q3, and today’s news won’t be any help. Apple could be ready to switch to its own in-house modems in the next two years, reducing its dependence on Qualcomm’s chips.
According to supply chain analyst and Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is planning to use its own 5G modem chips by 2025. Based on this timeframe, the iPhone 15 and 16 will likely still have Qualcomm chips, but the iPhone 17 could have Apple’s own technology.
