A few months ago, there was a rumor doing the rounds that all iPhone 12 models will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X55 5G modem. Given the current situation as well as Apple reportedly needing several years to complete the development of its in-house baseband chip, sticking with Qualcomm for the time being would be best for business.

Shortly after, there was an update to the previous report, stating that all iPhone 12 models will feature a Snapdragon X60, not Snapdragon X55, with TSMC having reportedly kicked off mass production of 5nm chips. The Snapdragon X60 would be the ideal choice for Apple, but a report from Weibo doesn't agree.
