Huawei is one of few phone companies that makes its own chipsets and cellular modems but only uses it in its own devices. So far, the Chinese giant has refused to sell its hardware to competitors, but according to a source close to this information, it is ‘open’ to the idea of selling its 5G modem, just as long as the competitor’s name is Apple. Nearly all of us know that Apple is reportedly planning to launch a 5G iPhone in 2020, and even that plan does not appear to be going according to the company’s wishes. Perhaps a major competitor in the smartphone space is what could be Apple’s savior at the end of the day.

A source that spoke with Engadget stated that Huawei is ‘open’ to the idea of selling 5G modems, but only to Apple. Huawei currently uses its Balong 5000 5G modem, and it is reported that this chip will be integrated with the Mate 30 series when they officially roll out later this year. Rumors have persisted that Apple is struggling with the rollout of a 5G iPhone, with an analyst claiming that the California-based giant might have to push the launch of the first 5G-ready handset to 2021.
