While a previous rumor states that all of Apple’s iPhone 12 models launching this year will sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 5G modem, a brand new report provides a different insight into the matter. It’s believed that the Cupertino giant will use its own 5G modems for the 2020 iPhone series, and there are a number of reasons for that, which we’ll be talking about right here.

A report from Fast Company details that Apple is apparently exploring the idea of incorporating its own modem in its 2020 iPhone 12 family. One reason might be to reduce dependency on Qualcomm, but according to the report, it’s because of something else. It appears that Qualcomm’s QTM525 antenna used for obtaining access to faster mmWave 5G connectivity is too large to fit in the upcoming iPhones.
