That stands in contrast to Apple, which reportedly won't offer a 5G iPhone until 2020. The company previously relied on Qualcomm for the wireless chips for its devices, but it's worked with Intel over the past couple of years because of a patent licensing battle with Qualcomm. Apple didn't respond to a request for comment.

Apple continues to sell tens of millions of iPhones every quarter, but there've been worries its growth could stall. Last month, Apple said it didn't sell as many iPhones as analysts expected in the quarter that ended Sept. 29, and it projected lackluster revenue results for the December quarter. Apple also said it would no longer detail unit sales of its iPhone and other major devices, a reversal from its strategy since first introducing the products.
