With Qualcomm having announced the Snapdragon X60 5G modem, the new 5nm baseband chip improved considerably over its predecessor, the Snapdragon X55. Soon after, rumors come to the light that Apple would tap Qualcomm for its Snapdragon X60 modems for the iPhone 12 lineup. Unfortunately, a recent teardown video showed that all iPhone 12 models are using the Snapdragon X55 and according to a licensing agreement, the 2021 iPhone 13 range might be treated to the faster 5G modem instead.
Remember the Apple-Qualcomm settlement where the iPhone maker was said to pay around $9 billion in royalty payments? Well, details from that document were spotted by MacRumors, claiming that the Snapdragon X60 5G modem will be used between June 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022.
