Apple was rumored to be working for a few years on its in-house 5G modem, but unfortunately, its first iteration will not be found in the iPhone 15 series slated to arrive next year. Thanks to this setback, an analyst thinks Qualcomm will remain the exclusive supplier of 5G modems in 2023.

Whatever roadblocks Apple has hit with its in-house 5G modem development, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentions in his tweet that Qualcomm will once more enjoy exclusivity in supplying one of its biggest clients with baseband chips for the iPhone 15 lineup. Previously, the smartphone SoC maker was estimated to have a 20 percent market of Apple’s 5G modem business as the latter was supposedly attempting to reduce dependency on its supplier through its in-house solution.
