iPhone 12 Lineup to Use Snapdragon X60 5G Modems, Not Snapdragon X55, as TSMC Will Commence Production This Month

Earlier this year, a report came out detailing that Apple would use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 5G modems in the iPhone 12 family. Considering that Qualcomm hadn’t officially launched the Snapdragon X60, the Snapdragon X55 would be the obvious choice, but a newly published report believes that Apple will stick to Qualcomm’s best offering yet and opt for the new 5G modem made on the 5nm node.
With TSMC all set to start mass production of the A14 Bionic chips possibly using its enhanced 5nm node, DigiTimes reports that the Snapdragon X60 chips will also be produced by the Taiwanese manufacturing giant and that the faster 5G modem will be found in iPhone 12 family. MacRumors managed to view a snippet of the report that was present behind a paywall, with the following details published.
