2023 iPhones to Only Feature Apple’s Own 5G Modem, and It Will Not Be a Part of the A-Series Chipset

Shortly after a previous report talked about the 2023 iPhones featuring only 20 percent of Qualcomm’s 5G modems, new info surrounding Apple’s own 5G modem has surfaced. Apparently, all iPhone models expected to launch a couple of years from now will only get the company’s baseband chip and it will not be sourced from a third-party supplier.
Just like the earlier report, DigiTimes agrees that the 2023 iPhones will feature 5G modems developed by Apple, with the company likely getting help from none other than TSMC. However, unlike Qualcomm’s executive’s beliefs, the new report states that Apple will ditch the San Diego chipmaker and resort to using its own 5G modems in 2023. We do not believe that will not be the case, because according to a six-year partnership, Apple will continue to use Qualcomm’s chips, with indications that it will continue to be supplied these parts during 2024.
