If Qualcomm CEO is right, then this year’s iPhone 15 series will be the last model with Qualcomm 5G chip.
For a long time, Apple has been committed to developing its own 5G modem chipset to replace the chip purchased from Qualcomm. However, Qualcomm has previously confirmed that it will continue to supply 5G modems for this year’s iPhone 15 series.
Now, Chief Executive Officer and President of Qualcomm Cristiano-Anmong Anmore have publicly talked about when Apple will launch a self-developed 5G baseband. In an interview with the World Mobile Communications Conference in 2023, Qualcomm CEO Angmeng told the Wall Street Journal that this might soon happen. “(We) expect Apple to launch their own modem in 2024, but if they need our need for us You can find us at any time. “
Qualcomm had previously told its investors that it would supply 20% of the modem with the iPhone released by Apple in 2023, and later changed to “most of them.” Now Qualcomm has changed the statement again. This change seems to be mainly because Apple failed to launch its own 5G modem as scheduled.
